B-227488.4 1 (1995-08-01)

Brown, Jr. House of Representatives Dear Mr. Brown: By letter of May 31, 1994, with enclosures, you ask that we further consider the claim of your constituent, Mr Did C. Funk, and grant him relief through use of the Meritorious Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3702(d) (1988). For the reasons stated below, we do not believe that it would be appropriate to grant him such relief. Mr. Funk, a civilian employee of the Air Force, was transferred in 1984 from Hawaii to Norton Air Force Base (AFB), California. Several days after he reported for duty at his new permanent station, and before he was able to move into permanent quarters, he was assigned to temporary duty at the Air War College at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, for long-term training from August 1984 until June 1985. As a result, he had to have his household goods placed in storage upon their arrival from Hawaii. Mr. Funk states that he was erroneously informed by the Traffic Management Office at Norton AFB that his household goods would be stored at government expense until he returned from temporary duty. Upon his return from temporary duty in July 1985, Mr. Funk first learned that the Air Force had only paid for the first 180 days of storage and that he had to pay the commercial storage charges for the additional storage period of approximately 8 months. On September 3, 1985, Mr. Funk paid the storage company the amount of $2,092.87 in full settlement for the storage of his goods beyond 180 days. By decision B-227488, Dec. 29, 1987, this Office sustained our Claims Group's Settlement Z-2864 U5, Mar. 9, 1987, which disallowed Mr. Funk's claim for reimbursement of the storage charges for the additional period. Our decision was 06q 3/ 5 C0 0 111384
