C. 2 (WITE0 DATE:M arch 20, 1979 Robert V. Linderman -Reconsideration of claim for real estate expenses 1. Employee requests reconsideration of prior decisions denying claim for real estate ex- penses incident to overseas transfer. Prior decisions are sustained since employee was not transferred to Washington, D. C., prior to overseas transfer and agency would not be justified in authorizing short-term trans- fer for purpose of paying relocation expenses. Furthermore, we are unaware of any entitle- ment to real estate expenses where an em- ployee is transferred overseas with return rights to a different duty station. 2. Employee who was erroneously reimbursed real estate expenses incident to overseas transfer requests collection of debt be sus- pended since employing agency was reim- bursed by foreign government for these expenses. Employee's entitlement to re- location expenses is based upon applicable statutes and regulations governing travel and relocation expenses for Federal em- ployees, and erroneous payments must be recovered. Furthermore, claim is not for repc ting to Congress under Meritorious Claims Act, 31 U.S. C. § 236. 3. Employee who was erroneously paid real estate expenses requests that agency collec- tion efforts be suspended while he pursues private relief through legislation or legal action. Where legislation has been intro- duced or lawsuit has been filed, we would not object to suspension of collection efforts. However, collection efforts should continue until legislation is introduced or lawsuit is filed.
