OF THE UNITED STATES W A SWASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: DATE: October 9, 1975 q B-182572 MATTER OF: Mrs. Beryl C. Tividad - Real Estate Expenses Retransfer to Former Duty Station DIGEST: Employee was transferred to new duty station. After 8 months she requested and was granted a 1-year extension of time to complete the sale of home at former duty station. One month later employee was retransferred to former duty station. Before extension expired, she completed sale of home. Agency denied reimbursement on grounds that trans- action was not related to the transfer. Employee is entitled to reimbursement. No administrative determination that sale relates to transfer is required, except when extension is requested, and once extension is granted it may not be revoked unless it was not properly granted.
