C. 20548 'N ITEDA FILE: B-207263 DATE: April 1h, 1983 MATTER OF: William H. Simon, Jr., - Transportation of Household Goods DIGEST: Employee who was transferred to new offi- cial duty station did not transport his household goods from the old station until nearly 1 year after his transfer, when he accepted a private sector position in another location. Employee is entitled to transportation expenses since he remained in Government service for 12 months after the effective date of his transfer, and transportation of his goods was begun within the 2-year limitation period speci- fied by paragraph 2-1.5a(2) of the Federal Travel Regulations.

The issue involved in this decision is whether a trans- ferred employee, who completed his required service at his new duty station, is entitled to reimbursement for transpor- tation of his household effects to a location other than his new duty station, shortly before he accepted a private sector job. For the reasons stated below, we hold that the employee may be reimbursed for transportation of his house- hold goods since he remained in the service of the Govern- ment for 12 months following the effective date of his transfer, and the transportation of the goods was begun within 2 years of the transfer date. This decision is in response to a request from Ms. B. A. Fry, an a-ithorized certifying officer with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in Atlanta, Georgia, concern- ing the propriety of reimbursing Mr. William H. Simon, Jr., for the cost of transoorting his household goods from Cincinnati, Chio, to Atlanta, Georgia, incident to his transfer to Atlanta. >r. Simon, an employee of the IRS, was transferred From Cincinnati to Atlanta effective February 2, 1981. Mr. Simon was authorized relocation expenses,
