O'Neil--Time limitation on return froma overseas assignment DIGEST: Employee whose appointment as a Federal employee in the Virgin Islands terminated on February 2, - 1971, but who did not elect to return to the United States until July 1973 because he accepted a non-Federal position in the Office of the Governor of the Virgin Islands, is not entitled to reimbursement of return travel and transporta- tion of household effects expenses under section 1.3d of Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-56, revised June 26, 1969, which estab- lishes a maximum period of 2 years from employ- ee's date of transfer for the beginning of allow- able travel and transportation. This is in response to a request for an advance decision by an authorized certifying officer of the United States Department of the Interior as to the propriety of certifying for payoent the claim of Mr. James P. O'Neil in the amount of $1,090.18 which arose under the following circumstances. It appears that Mr. O'Neil was a reemployed annuitant who received an appointment as an Executive Assistant to the Governor in the Office of the Governor of the Virgin Islands, located at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, effective as of February 1, 1970. He served in that capacity until January 3, 1971, when his position was abolished at the time the first elected Governor of the Virgin Islands was inaugurated. On January 4, 1971, Mr. O'Neil received a temporary appointment as a Federal employee in the Office of the Government Comptroller for the Virgin Islands as a special assistant. That appointment was terminated on February 2, 1971. At that time Mr. O'Neil did not elect to return to the United States, and instead accepted a non-rederal position in the Office of the Governor, effective February 5, 1971. Mr. O'Neil and his wife did not depart the Virgin Islands for return to their stateside residence until July 13, 1973, more than 2 years after the termination of his employment with the Federal Government. Their household goods were also shipped in July 1973. The cost of the return travel and the transportation of the household goods was $1,090.18, and the claim for reimbursement is in that amount.
