THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF   THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548


DATE:      February 28,1980


MATTER OF:      Gerald S. Beasley-4Reimbursement for
                real estate expenses

DIGEST:    Relocated employee sold ridence  which he
           jointly owned with his spouse at the time
           he was first definitely informed by appro-
           priate authority that he was to be trans-
           ferred to new duty station. Reimbursement
           of expenses of sale may be made to the
           extent of employee's interest in residence
           at the time the property was deeded to the
           purchaser.  However, payment may not be
           made for an appraisal fee paid before he was
           definitely informed of his transfer.


     The Chief, Accounting and Finance, Comptroller, Headquarters
Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (AFLC), Robins Air Force Base,
Georgia, requests an advance decision concerning payments on a
voucher in the net amount of $3,727.45 submitted for reimburse-

residence at his old duty station in connection with a permanent
change of station (PCS). The request, forwarded by Headquarters
United States Air Force, has been assigned Control No. 79-34
by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.

     We find that the dwelling at the old duty station was the
employee's actual residence which he jointly owned with his
spouse at the time he was first definitely informed by appro-
priate authority that he was to be transferred to the new duty
station and that such expenses are reimbursable to the extent
of his interest at the time the property was deeded to the
purchaser.

     Mr. Gerald S. Beasley, an employee of the Department of the
Air Force, assigned to Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, after
being informed of contemplated plans to abolish certain jobs
held by Civil Service personnel and to have those services per-
formed by contractor personnel, was referred to the employing
agency at Robins Air Force Base, Goergia, and interviewed for
a position on April 12, 1979. He was notified of his tenta-
tive selection for employment on April 13, 1979. Mr. Beasley
states that based upon his belief that his assignment at Patrick
