Siipola File: B-221434 Date: August 26, 1986 DIGEST A transferred employee claims reimbursement for expenses incurred incident to the sale of a cooperative residence at his old duty station. Initially, the employee's future wife and father-in-law purchased a unit in a housing corporation which the employee occupied following his marriage. The employee claims entitlement to full reimbursement as a result of a purported oral transfer of his father-in-law's entire interest to the employee and his wife. The employee has not submitted documentation indicating the percentage of owner- ship held by himself, his wife, and father-in-law at the time he was notified of his transfer. Since reimbursement must be prorated to take into account the outstanding interests of non-dependent co-owners of property and the father-in-law is not claimed as a dependent, the employee's claim may not be allowed without further evidence. DECISION The issue in this matter is whether an employee is entitled to reimbursement of real estate expenses for sale of a resi- dence incident to a permanent change of duty station.l/ The employee has provided no evidence indicating the percentage of ownership held by himself or his dependents at the time he was notified of the transfer of duty station. Since reim- bursement of real estate costs is limited to the extent of the employee's and/or his dependent's interest in the resi- dence, the employee's claim for reimbursement is denied. 1/ This action is in response to a request for an advance decision from the Acting Chief, Real Estate Division, Depart- ment of the Army, Baltimore District, Corps of Engineers, Baltimore, Maryland. 06 0o4
