O.C. 20548 ef2, a 3 4 r '/fe FILE: B-195851 DATE October 29, 1980 MATTER OF: Thomas A. Shaver - Miscellaneous and Transportation Expenses7 AttL DIGEST: 1. An employee was transferred from Germany to United States. When he terminated lease on his German residence he was required to forfeit his security deposit. The prevailing local custom was that the departing tenant was required to defray the cost of finding a new tenant and cost of redecorating. Expense was a lease termination expense and not reimbursable `since both duty stations were not in United States or other specified areas. Nor is expense reimbursable as miscella- neous expense because miscellaneous expense allowance cannot be used to cover expenses where reimbursement is specifically denied elsewhere in regulations. I 2. 'Employee being transferred from Germany to United States may not, at that time, be reimbursed under miscellaneous expenses for nonrefundable telephone deposit paid when transferred to Germany. That amount was reimbursable at the time it was paid. Employee also may not include in miscel- laneous -expenses cost of auto registration paid after initial year at new duty station since those fees are part of employee's everyday cost of living. 3. Employee transferred from Germany to United States may be reimbursed for full cost of commercial fare for flight because his travel orders were not annotated to restrict him to a military flight as required by 2 JTR before reimbursement may be limited. The issues presented here arise from the transfer of an employee from Germany to Fort Meade Maryland, I f -12~ 4~2~
