OF THE UNITED STATES 828 FILE: B- 185077 DATE: MAY 27 7 MATTER OF: - Relocation expenses DIGEST: Employee appealed disallowance by our Claims Division of relocation expenses incurred in move requested by employee from Chicago, Illinois, to Miami, Florida. Agency approved transfer on condition that \ employee pay relocation expenses. After the move, made without travel orders, em- ployee filed claim for expenses contending relocation was in Government interest. Based on the record and agency determination that transfer was at employee's request and not primarily in Government interest, we held that no entitlement to relocation expenses was established under paragraph 2-1.3, Federal Travel Regulations (FPMR 101-7, May 1973), Hence, we sustained disallowance. This action concerns an anDeal. by Paul A. Tennenbaum, Attorney, on behalf of Ms. , an employee of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), for recon- sideration of a settlement certificate dated August 29. 1975, Issued by our Claims Division that disallowed Ms. claim in the amount of $950 for travel and transportation expenses inci- dent to her July 1974, transfer from the HEW health unit In Chicago, Illinois, to the HEW health unit in Miami, Florida. Her claim was disallowed on the basis that the transfer was made at her specific request and was not primarily in the interest of the Government. In a parallel action to her claim, which she filed with our Claims Division by letter of June 5, 1975, Ms. filed an informal grievance with her agency covering this matter on July 22, 1975, which was denied. On August 11, 1975, the em- ployee filed a formal grievance which was referred to a grievance examiner who conducted an exhaustive inquiry on the employee's complaint and rendered a report dated March 22, 1976, that con- tained findings and conclusions regarding the grievance and recom- mended that all requested relief be denied. The deciding official accepted the examiner's recommendation by decision dated April 6, 1976
