Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

[Decision Concerning IRS Employees' Claims for Reimbursement for Lodging Expenses]

B-233733,B-233735 Nov 09, 1989
Jump To:

Highlights

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requested a decision regarding two transferred employees' claims for reimbursement for lodging expenses they incurred incident to: (1) official temporary travel away from their new permanent duty stations; and (2) retaining their temporary quarters at their new permanent duty stations while away on the temporary official business. GAO held that the claimants were entitled to reimbursement, if IRS determined that they acted reasonably in retaining the temporary quarters at their new permanent duty stations. Accordingly, the claims were allowed.
