handle is hein.gao/gaobadmfi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OP THE UNITED STATED WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-219488 DATE: March 11, 1986 MATTER OF: Elizabeth A. Varrelman DIGEST: Under applicable Department of Defense regulations, an employee separated from an overseas position is entitled to onward transportation of household goods stored in the United States provided shipment to a final destination is begun within 2 years from the date of separa- tion. Where the employee was unable to provide a delivery date or destination within 2 years from the date of separa- tion, contacts with Government transpor- tation officers concerning shipment did not meet the requirement to begin ship-, ment within the requisite period. Erroneous advice that the 2-year period began to run from the date the employee's goods reached the continental U.S. does not provide a basis to have them delivered at Government expense. This action is in response to a request by Elizabeth A. Varrelman for reconsideration of our Claims Group's dis- allowance of her claim for delivery of household goods.i/ The claim was disallowed because the goods were not delivered to final destination within the 2 years required by the implementing regulations. The disallowance is sustained for the reasons set forth below. BACKGROUND Ms. Varrelman was separated on August 26, 1981, from her position with the Department of Defense School in Aviano, Italy. Upon separation from the position overseas 1/ Ms. Varrelman's claim was disallowed by settlement No. Z-2854598 issued by our Claims Group on March 6, 1985. C L42 =Z
