A Certifying Officer for the Department of Defense (DOD) asks whether the agency may reimburse an employee for lodging expenses he incurred while on a temporary duty (TDY) assignment. The claims may not be paid. The employee did not stay in government-leased quarters, although they remained available for him. Section 1589 of title 10, United States Code, prohibits the reimbursement of lodging expenses for DOD employees when adequate government quarters are available, but are not used. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-260907/html/GAOREPORTS-B-260907.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-260907/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-260907.pdf GAO/B-260907 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-260907 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-260907; Dennis W.
