handle is hein.gao/gaobadmos0001 and id is 1 raw text is: LR The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof- Eugene P. Tuttle File: B-223599 Date: Januarry 5, 1987 DIGEST State Department employee returning from overseas assignment on approved home leave to New York delayed travel to perform interim training assignment in Washington at request of agency. Ouring 5-month training assignment employee's family permanently moved to California and agency approved employ- ee's recuest for chanqe of actual residence. Fact that employee subsequently completed training assignment and began home leave travel 2 days before approval to amend travel orders to reflect address change does not defeat entitlement to travel expenses to California address.

Since the facts demonstrate that the agency had already approved a change to Mr. Tuttle's actual residence, definitely intended to allow home leave travel to the new address, and only inadvertently delayed effectuating that change in his travel orders, we are sustaining our Claims Group's holding. BACKGROUND The record shows that under travel authorization No. 2025-363046 dated June 13, 1983, Mr. Tuttle was transferred back to the United States from his overseas assignment in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
