Carley - Reconsideration of reimbursement for real estate expenses DIGEST: 1. Where employee's travel orders erroneously failed to authorize reimbursement for real estate expenses and were amended 4 months later correcting error, employee may not be granted extension of 1-year time limitation for real estate settlements because of er- ror committed by officer or em- ployee of Government. 2. Amendment to erroneously prepared travel orders does not extend statutory regulation's 1-year time limitation for real estate settle- ment date beyond initial 1-year period. 3. Exception to statutory regulation authorizing 1-year extension of time limitation for sale and pur- chase of residence is not applica- ble where employee enters into Sales Authority and Purchase Agreement with realtors within ini- tial 1-year period. This is in response to a request for reconsideration of our decision B-181627, January 24, 1975, in which we sustained our Claims Division's disallowance of Mr. Fred H. Carley's claim for real estate transaction expenses incurred in connection with a transfer between official duty stations. The record indicates that Mr. Carley was transferred from Brookley Air Force Base, Alabama, to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, with a reporting date of October 30, 1969. However, his original travel orders did not authorize reimbursement for real estate expenses, and it was not until March 9, 1970, that an amendment to those orders was issued authorizing reimbursement of such expenses. i
