handle is hein.gao/gaobadlei0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION FILE: B-209873 MATTER DIGEST: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 DATE: July 6, 1983 OF: Donald F. Daly 1. Employee who was separated involuntarily from the Department of the Interior in Lawton, Oklahoma, due to a reduction in force is entitled to relocation expenses where within 1 year of his separation he was reemployed by the Department of Edu- cation in Washington, D.C. The fact that the employee's travel orders were issued subsequent to his move does not reduce that entitlement. 2. Agency properly denied employee reim- bursement for use of two vehicles where employee lacked justification for use of second vehicle under paragraph 2-2.3e(a) of the Federal Travel Regulations. Either employee's or his spouse's vehicle could have transported both with lug- gage. Use of a second vehicle may not be justified on the basis of a general statement that the vehicles were used to transport personal belongings. 3. Employee who was authorized shipment of household goods incident to a permanent change of station is limited to the actual expenses of that shipment in this case. Since transportation by Government Bill of Lading would have been less cost- ly than reimbursement under the commuted rate system, 41 C.F.R. § 101-40.206 requires that reimbursement be limited to the low-cost Government mover. How- ever, where agency failed to comply with requirement to make cost determination before shipment of the household goods, employee may be reimbursed actual ex- penses not in excess of the amount that would be allowable under the commuted rate system.
