MATTER OF: James Schoenberger


31GEST:


Individuals selected for a7!ointment to
Senior Executive Service (SES) may be
paid travel and transportation expenses
for relocation to the duty station at
which the new position is located even
if they travel before actually being
appointed. Such individuals, however,
do not have a vested *.ntitlement until
actual appoititment, Thus, where an
individual selected for SES pooition
incurred relocation expenses prior to
appointment he way not be reimbursed
these expenses when ultimately he was
appointed to a grade 15, and not an
SES position,


     An authoriced official of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (Department) requests an advance decision
whether Mr. James Schoenberger is entitled to receive travel
and transportation expenses that are authorized for a new
appointee to the Senior Executive Service (SES). Although
selected for an SES position, Mr. Schoenberger ultimately
was appointed to a non-SES position because the Department
had filled all SES positions before his appointment. Since
the entitlements in question vest upon appointment to an SES
position and not upon selection, Kr. Schoenberger may not
be reimbursed his travel and transportation expenses.

     In 1981, Mr. Schoenberger while not employed by the
Government, was recruited and selected for the position
of Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office of
Multifamily Housing in Washington, D.C. This required his
relocation from St. Louis, Missouri, to Washington. In
anticipation of his appointment, he relocated to Washington
in April 1981, incurring some $4,000 in moving expenses,

     Upon arrival in Washington, Mr. Ochoenberger was
retained as a consultant by the Department ?ending tile
processing of his appointments Upon the completion of the
administrative processing, Mr,, Schoenberger, however, was
not appointed to an BUS positioni. The Deportment of Housiag
and urbas Development had alteady appointei individuals
