B-207 175 DATE: December 2, 1982 MATTER OF: Jack R, Valentine - Reimbursement Relocation Expenses of DIGEBT: 1. Employee, who was transferred to new official duty station 36 miles away from old station, is not entitled to relocation expenses where the agency determines that relocation of the employee's residence was not incident to the transfer of duty station. We will not upset agency's determination that employee's relocation was not incident to transfer where, although employee attempted to sell home and moved family and household goods out of residence, the record contains no evidence of employee's intention or good faith attempt to relocate closer to new duty station. '2. Employee, who was transferred to new duty station 36 miles from old duty station, claims subsistence expenses while occupying temporary quarters at old duty station. Employee is not entitled to payment of temporary quarters since the distance between his new official station and old residence is not more than 40 miles greater than the distance between his old residence and his old offi- cial station, as required by para- graph 2-5.2h of the Federal Travel Regulations. The issue in this decision is whether an employee is entitled to certain relocation expenses including temporary quarters expenses incident to a short distance transfer. We hold that the employee may not be reim- bursed for relocation expenses where the agency has determined that the employee's change of residence was not incident to the short distance transfer. In addi- tion, we hold that the employee is not eligible for tem- porary quarters expenses under the applicable regula- tions in view of the short distance between the old and new duty stations.
