handle is hein.gao/gaobadcpo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: . THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548 FILE: DATE: SEP 3 1975 7 -7 *7 MATTER OF: Phillip G. Whisnant--Real Estate Expenses--Sale of residence at time of transfer DIGEST: Selection to participate in Corps of Engineers' Program of Advanced Studies for Professional Employees consti- tutes notice of transfer within meaning of regulations (section 4.1(d) of O.M Circular A-56). Employee who sold his residence after being selected for the program may be reimbursed upon completion of training and actual transfer. See B-161795, June 29, 1967; B-168224, November 19, 1969. Mr. J.W. Koch, a disbursing officer at the Little Rock District, Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, requests an advance decision on the propriety of paying real estate expenses claimed by Mr. Phillip G. Whisnant since the sale of his residence was settled before Mr. Whisnant was officially notified of his change in duty station. The record shows that Mr. Whisnant, a reservoir ranger stationed in Mountain Home, Arkansas, was selected in February 1972 to participate in the Corps of Engineers' Program of Advanced Studies for Professional Employees. He sold his residence in Mountain Home in June 1972 and thereafter moved to College Station, Texas, for advanced schooling at Texas A & M1 University in August 1972. On January 12, 1973, Mr. Whisnant was officially notified of his transfer to the Corps of Engineers' district office in Little Rock. He was authorized reimbursement of real estate expenses for the sale of his residence at his old duty station in PCS Order 30319, dated August 9, 1973. Mr. Whisnant claims reimbursement for the expenses he incurred incident to the sale of his house in Mountain Home, Arkansas, in June 1972. The question presented is whether Mr. Whisnant's selection to participate in the Program of Advanced Studies for Professional Employees constituted notice that his official duty station would be changed, as was required for reimbursement under section 4.1(d) of Office of Management and Budget (OB) Circular A-56, revised August 17, 1971.
