Employee may be reimbursed for all appropriate relocation expenses incurred after date he signed service agreement since the facts pre- sented demonstrate requisite administrative -1 f- t t f t¶fl This matter is in response to a request for an advance decision submitted by Mr. Paul L. Allison, Director, Finance Division, Region n 4, General Services Administration (GSA), concerning the authority for reimbursing Mr. James H. Hogan for expenses incurred incident to his permanent change of duty station. Mr. Hogan, an employee of the Federal Protective Service Division of GSA, was stationed at Pensacola, Florida. He applied for and received a transfer from that duty station to Tallahassee, Florida. It is not entirely clear when Mr. Hogan was first advised that he would be transferred, but the record indicates that he signed the required service agreement on June 9, 1977, and the Standard Form 52, Request for Personnel Action (SF 52), was dated June 13, 1977. Mr. Hogan was advised by his superior, Captain Knowles, that, for planning purposes, he should use June 20, 1977, as the date for his transfer. He was also told that he should not make a physical move until his orders were approved. Even though he had been specifically instructed not to move until he was told to, Mr. Hogan moved his family from Tallahassee to Pensacola on June 13, 1977. When GSA learned of the move, orders were issued placing Mr. Hogan in a temporary duty status at Tallahassee, with the actual travel order being issued on June 30, 1977. The GSA has declined to reimburse Mr. Hogan for all of his relocation expenses because some were incurred prior to the effective date of the transfer. P L M
