Caven - Relocation Expenses DIGEST: Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employee transferred from San Francisco, California, to Sacramento, California, claims relocation expenses. He may not be paid such expenses since IRS determined that transfer was at claimant's request and primarily for his convenience and the record supports such a conclusion. See 5 U.S.C. §§ 5724 and 5724a, and paragraph 2-1. 3 of Federal Travel Regulations. This action is in response to a request for reconsideration of Settlement Certificate No. Z-2769147, October 12, 1978, by which our Claims Division disallowed Mr. Robert A. Caven's claim for relocation expenses incurred incident to his transfer from San Francisco, California, to Sacramento, California. Mr. Caven, who was formally a Group Manager for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in San Francisco, California, states that on October 10, 1974, he learned that an additional audit group would be established in Sacramento, California. He states that on December 3, 1974, the formation of four new groups was announced at a joint meeting of Branches Five and Six, and one of these four groups would be in Sacramento. Mr. Caven claims that he con- sidered this to be a formal announcement because the location, size, and group designation was stated. Subsequent to this meeting Mr. Caven told his Branch Chief that he had an interest in trans- ferring to Sacramento. - On February 10, 1975, Mr. Caven wrote a short letter to Branch Chief Six which provided: For personal reasons I am requesting that my official post of duty be changed from San Francisco to Sacramento. I fully understand that a money freeze is in force and accordingly I will waive all moving costs now and forever. Mr. Caven subsequently transferred to Sacramento. He now claims that he cannot waive a right to which he is entitled, that other people were given moving expenses in similar situations and, therefore, he should be reimbursed for his relocation expenses.
