Cl. 2L5 48 DATE: AVG 3 1976 OF: Ms. Patricia C. Reed - Relocation expenses incident to RIF reemployment by different agency at new location. The relocation expenses prescribed under 5 U. S. C. SS 5724a(c) and 5724(e) may be paid by the gaining or losing agency -to an -employee separated by a RIF and reemployed within 1 year at another geographical location, as though the employee had been transferred In the interest of the Gov- ernment without a break in service. However, the losing and gaining agency must agree as to which will be responsible for such costs. This action concerns a request by Mr. R. F. Wisniewski, the Manpower Administrator of the Selective Service System, as to the propriety of their determination to refuse to pay the relocation expenses of Mrs. Patricia C. Reed by a Reduction in Force action (RIF) where subsequent to her separation she was reemployed within 1 year by another government agency at a different locale. The record shows that Mrs. Reed was hired by the Selective Service System to work in Oconto, Wisconsin, in May of 1968. In November of 1972, the Oconto office was co-located in Marinette, Wisconsin, approximately 13 miles distance. At that time she drove to Marinette to work until June of 1973, at which time her position was terminated due to a RIF by the Selective Service System. On February 25, 1974, Mrs. Reed obtained employment with the Naval Reserve Center In Green Bay, Wis- consin. By letter of March 3, 1975, she requested information from the Selective Service Systern whether they would reimburse her for moving expenses if she moved her family to Green Bay. The Comptroller at the National Headquarters of the Selective Service System advised that it Is the policy of the National Head- quarters not to approve the payment of relocation expenses of a former employee separated by a RIF when hired by another agency and that no cxception should be made in the case presented. Also, the denial of the request of Mrs. Reed was based upon the accepted interpretation of the Federal Travel Regulations (FPMOR 101-7) para. 2-1. 5d(2) (May 1973), which provides as follows: ---S..
