Widow is entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in sale, and is entitled to extension of 1 year, not to exceed 2 years from the effective date of his transfer, to settle sale of residence under provision of section 2-6. le of FPMR 101-7. This matter was submitted for decision by the Director of the Financial Management Office at the Center for Disease Control, Public Health Service, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, in Atlanta, Georgia. The question is whether a voucher dated February 11, 1975, for $3, 740 submitted by the widow of a deceased employee for expenses incurred in the sale of their former residence at his old official station, may be certified for payment. The submission states that Dr. Gerard Wijsmuller's official duty station was changed from Bethesda, Maryland, to Atlanta, Georgia, by a travel order dated May 31, 1973, and that he reported for duty in Atlanta on June 21, 1973. Before Dr. Wijsmuller was able to sell his residence at his old duty station he died on November 14, 1973. In the meantime, his family had joined him in Atlanta on September 15, 1973, and occupied a residence which he had purchased there. On June 5, 1974, Mrs. Wijsmuller, through her attorney, requested that the 1-year limitation on the settlement date for the sale of the residence at the old duty station be extended because Mrs. Wijsmuller had executed a contract for the sale of her former residence on May 29, 1974, but the settlement could not take place before June 17, 1974, a date which was believed to be beyond the expiration of the 1-year time limitation period. The extension of time for the sale of the residence was approved by the Financial Management officer on June 19, 1974, with the notation Extension meets with my approval provided the General Accounting Office determines that reimbursement of this expense is proper. The scheduled settlement did not take place because the prospective purchasers were unable to obtain financing. Subsequently, another purchaser was found and the settlement was completed on November 13, 1974.
