C. 20548 FILE: B-210152 DATE: June 28, 1983 MATTER OF: Charles A. Onions DIGEST: A transferred employee obtained an assumable variable rate mortgage on his old residence in order to sell that residence so that he could make a down- payment on the purchase of a residence at his new duty station. The transac- tion, made primarily to obtain funds to make a downpayment, was part of the total financial package for the purchase of the new residence and was essential to the purchase. Hence, those expenses of obtaining the refinancing on his old residence are reimbursable to the extent that such costs are reasonable and customary and are otherwise properly allowable under the Federal Travel Regulations. This action is in response to a request by the Chief, Branch of Financial Management, Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, as to whether he may certify for payment a reclaim voucher in the amount of $854.75. The voucher was submitted by Mr. Charles A. Onions, an employee of the Geological Survey, for costs he incurred in connection with the refinancing of his residence at his old official duty station in order to purchase a residence at his new official duty station. For the reasons set forth below Mr. Onions may be allowed reimbursement of the reasonable and customary costs incurred in connection with refinancing his residence in the locality of his old duty station to the extent that such reimbursement is properly allowable under the Federal Travel Regulations, FPMR 101-7 (May 1973), in effect at the time of his transfer. By travel authorization dated June 15, 1981, Mr. Onions was authorized travel and relocation expenses in connection with his transfer as an employee of the Geological Survey O~oae 0)
