handle is hein.gao/gaobadkyc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL L4 4! OECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WAS HINGTON. D.C. 20548 FILE: B-210478 DATE: March 17, 1983 MATTER OF: James H. Gordon - Real Estate Expenses - 2-Year Time Limitation DIGEST: Employee is not entitled to reim- bursement for real estate expenses incurred in connection with his permanent change of station from New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, to Warren, Michigan, on May 19, 1980, since settlement date did not occur within 2 years of date on which employee reported to new duty station as required by FTR para. 2-6.1e (May 1973). The amendment to FTR para. 2-6.1e, allowing 1 year extension of 2-year time limitation for completion of residence transac- tions, is effective only for employ- ees whose entitlement period had not expired prior to August 23, 1982. Since the employee's entitlement period expired prior to that date, the amendment is not applicable. The question presented is whether Mr. James H. Gordon, an employee of the Army Tank-Automotive Command, may be reimbursed the expenses he incurred in the sale of a home incident to a permanent change-of-station on May 19, 1980. For the reasons stated below, we hold that he may not be reimbursed. This decision is in response to a request from Robert A. Kaspari, Finance and Accounting Officer, Army Tank-Automotive Command, Department of the Army. Mr. Gordon was employed by the New Cumberland Army Depot with his duty station located in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Due to a reclassification of Mr. Gordon's position, his position was downgraded from GS-13 to GS-12 effective February 17, 1980. However, Mr. Gordon was entitled to his grade of GS-13 for a 2-year period, provided he did not decline a reasonable offer of a position graded at GS-13 or higher. During March 1980, Mr. Gordon was contacted through the career referral program for a lateral assignment to a grade GS-13 position 5z o S3 7
