# Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense (TQSE)

## Definition of Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense:

Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense (TQSE) is a supplemental allowance intended to reimburse employees for the cost of lodging, food, and other necessities when occupying temporary quarters. Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense may be authorized up to 60 days, and reimbursement is taxable.

## How To Determine Your Maximum Allowance:

### Days 1-30:

                            - Employee: 1 x $149.00
                            - Family Members 12 and Over: # of members x $111.75
                            - Family Members Under 12: # of members x $74.50

### Days 31-60:

                            - Employee: 1 x $111.75
                            - Family Members 12 and Over: # of members x $74.50
                            - Family Members Under 12: # of members x $149.60

### Example: 

                            - Employee: (1) x $149.00 = $149.00
                            - Family Members Over 12: 2 members x 111.75 = $223.50
                            - Family Members Under 12: 2 members x $74.50 = $85.00
                            - Maximum Allowance = $521.50
