Richardson, Jr. - Cost of Daughter's Travel - Change of Duty Station File: 3B-219480 Date: September 22, 1986 DIGEST Employee was transferred from Washington, D.C., to Ogden, Utah. He had been divorced and legal custody of his daughter had been awarded to his former wife who lived in Claremont, California. Although the daughter had resided with employee for some 10 months prior to employee's transfer, at the time employee reported to his new duty station he was neither accompanied by his daughter nor did she later join him in Utah. Under the Federal Travel Regulations, a dependent must be a member of the employee's household at the time he or she reports for duty. Accordingly, employee may not be reimbursed for the cost of his daughter's travel from his old duty station to his former spouse's home upon his transfer. DECISION This decision is in response to a request by Mr. W. D. Moorman, Authorized Certifying Officer, National Finance Center, United States Department of Agriculture, as to whether a travel voucher submitted by Mr. John W. Richardson, Jr., an employee of the Forest Service, may be certified for payment. The issue presented is whether Mr. Richardson is entitled to reimbursement for the cost of an airline ticket for his daughter Kristina incident to his change of official station. For the reasons stated below, the travel voucher may not be certified for payment. By travel authorization dated May 30, 1984, Mr. Richardson was authorized a permanent change of station from Reston, Virginia, to Ogden, Utah. At the time that he was notified of the transfer, his daughter was residing with him.
