Jamie Herrera - Expenses for sale of rqsidence DIGEST: Employee of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, transferred from Houston to San Antonio, was authorized travel, per diem, relocation, and miscellaneous expenses, but not real estate expenses apparently due to budgetary constraints. He is entitled to reimbursement of real estate expenses in accordance with Part 6, Chapter 2 of the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR). The FTR's contemplate that certain expenses will be uniformly allowed to all transferred employees, and budgetary constraints are not an acceptable reason for denying expenses permitted by regulation. By a letter dated February 12, 1981, Mr. Richard J. Laulor, an Authorized Certifying Officer with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, requested an advance decision regarding the reclaim voucher of Mr. S. Jamie Herrera for the expenses of selling a residence at his old duty station. For the reasons stated below the voucher may be certified for payment in accordance with Part 6, Chapter 2 of the Federal Travel Regula- tions (FTR) (FPMR 101-7, May 1973). The facts of this case are as follows. In the spring of 1980 the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service opened a new field office in San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Herrera, an employee of the Service in Houston, requested a transfer to the new office. The request for the transfer was approved, and the em- ployee was authorized travel expenses, per diem, moving expenses, and miscellaneous expenses of $100. Apparently for budgetary reasons he was not authorized expenses for the sale of his residence in Houston. Mr. Herrera signed a service agreement May 29, 1980, and an authorization for travel was issued June 18, 1980. After the transfer Mr. Herrera requested reim- bursement for the costs of selling his residence in Houston. The certifying officer inquires whether Mr. Herrera is entitled to reimbursement of real estate expenses since they were not originally authorized. 7 774/
