Grimes - Termination of Overseas Employment - Transportation of Household Goods to Alternate Destination DIGEST: 1. Under 5 U.S.C. S 5722, civilian employees on separation abroad are entitled to travel and transportation expenses to their place of actual residence at the time of overseas assignment. We hold that such employ- ees are entitled to those expenses to any alternate point of destination, within or outside the United States, provided however that the cost to the Government shall not exceed the construotive cost Of travel- and transportation to the actual place of residence. Since this represents a changed construction of the statute, it is for prospective application only, effective as of the date of this decision. 2. A civilian employee of the Defense Intelligence Agency upon separation overseas shipped her household goods from Denmark to Scotland. The agency disallowed her expenses based on our prior decisions since she did not return to United States. We hold that she is entitled to travel and trans- portation expenses incirced in her move to Scotland, not to exceed the constructive cost to her place of actiual residence in the United States. In this case, the question is whether a civilian enployee upon separation overseas is entitled to travel and transportation expenses under 5 U.S.C. S 5722 (1976) from Copenhagen, Denmark, to Scotland instead of to her place of actual residence in the United States. For the reasons stated below, we hold that she is entitled to such expenses, not to exceed the constructive cost of travel and transpor- tdtion expenses to her place of actual residence. 0'3-34
