41 CFR 302-6.5: -6.5 Partial days of temporary quarters occupancy.

Occupancy of temporary quarters is based on calendar days and partial days are counted as full days of TQSE. An employee may not receive reimbursement under both a TQSE allowance and another subsistence expenses allowance within the same day, except as follows:

(a) If the employee claims TQSE reimbursement on the same day that official travel en route to their new official station ends, the en route subsistence expenses will be computed under applicable partial day rules, and the employee may also be reimbursed for actual TQSE incurred after 6 p.m. of that day.

(b) If an employee's immediate family is claiming TQSE and the employee is performing separate official TDY travel, or receiving a cost-of-living allowance payable under 5 U.S.C. 5941 in addition to a TQSE allowance.
