Garrity - Re'bursement of Incidental Real Estate Expenses DIGEST: 1. Department of Housing and Urban Development employee claims cost for gas line inspection incurred prior to sale of home incident to trans- fer from Columbus, Ohio, to Washington, D. C. Fee may not be authorized for payment since record does not show inspection was required for sale of the residence. 2. Department of Housing and Urban Development employee may not be reimbursed cost of 1-year Homegard Home Maintenance Service Contract incident to transfer from Columbus, Ohio, to Washington, D. C. Homegard Contract is insur- ance against seller's contingent liability for defects in home and hence is not allowable under para. 2-6. 2d, Federal Travel Regulations, which precludes reimbursement of insurance expenses. Also, Homegard Contract is intended to protect against future maintenance costs and regulation precludes payment of maintenance costs. Philip R. Rosen, B-187493, April 1, 1977, modified. Ms. Lena M. Jones, an authorized certifying officer of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), requests an advance decision whether she may certify for payment a reclaim voucher for $268 submitted by Mr. John D. Garrity, an employee of HUD. The voucher covers items disallowed by HUD when Mr. Garrity claimed reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the sale of his home incident to a transfer from Columbus, Ohio, to Washington, D. C. There are two items on the voucher, one for $18 representing a gas line inspection fee and one for $250 representing the cost of a 1-year Homegard Home Maintenance Contract. --I
