     Morris Wiseman - Extension of Settlement Date-
     Limitation

Transferred Air Force employee requested extension
of time to settle house sale under 2 JTR para.
C8350 because renovation was not complete. Exten-
sion was denied by Civilian Personnel Officer
based upon restrictive interpretation of JTR.
After several appeals Headquarters USAF authorized
extension, and successor Civilian Personnel Officer
approved it.  Extension is valid even though
approved more than 2 years after effective date of
transfer.  That portion of Matter of Daryl L.
Mahoney, B-181611, December 26, 1974, requirin3
approval within 2 years will no longer be followed.


     This is a reconsideration of Settlement Certificate Z-2522874, issued
by our Transportation and Claims Division on February 4, 1974, which
denied Mr. Morris  4isean's claim for reimbursement of real estate
expenses incurred incident to the sale of his residence at his old duty
station.

     Under the authority of Departnent of the Air Force Travel Authoriza-
tion C1000-31-72, issued September 1, 1971, Mr. Morris Wisenan was trans-
ferred from the Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the
Ai-r Force Systems Command, Andrews Air Base, Camp Springs, Maryland, to
which he reported on September 12,. 1971. Beginning long before he knew
of his transfer, Hr. Wiseman had contracted for extensive remodelling
work on his residence at his old duty station. The building permit for
the work was issued October 25, 1968. 'At the time of his transfer, the
work was not completed, and Mr. Wiseman was advised-by a real estate
broker that it would be extremely difficult-to sell the property unless
the rpnovation work was completed. Following his transfer, Mr. Wiseman
found that the cost of mortgage payments for his former residence, rent
payments-for his new residence, and payments to the contractor doing the
renovation work were simply too great. Mr. Wiseman, therefore, terminated
his agreement with the contractor and began travelling to New Jersey on
weekends to complete the remodelling work himself. Finally, on
September 2, 1972, Mr. Wiseman executed a contract to sell his former
residence in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and the settlement of the contract
took place on December 4, 1972.
