Markalonis - Relocation File: B-226022 Date: May 4, 1987 DIGEST Employee completed real estate transaction 2 years and 8 months after the effective date of his transfer but did not request a 1-year extension of the 2-year time limit for completion of real estate transactions until after the initial 2-year period had expired. Paragraph 2-6.le(2)(b) of the Federal Travel Regulations (Supp. 4, August 23, 1982) requires employees to request an extension not later than 30 days after expiration of the initial 2-year period but permits agencies to extend the period for accepting requests for extensions. Accordingly, although payment cannot be made under the circumstances as they now exist, the agency should review the record to see if approval of an extension is warranted. If such approval then is given, the employee's real estate expenses may be reimbursed. DECISION This action concerns the claim of Vincent J. Markalonis for relocation expenses incurred 2 rears and 8 months after the effective date of his transfer._1/ The issue presented is whether Mr. Markalonis' failure to request a 1-year extension prior to expiration of the initial 2-year period precludes granting a 1-year extension. It is our view that the current regulations do not prohibit the agency from retroactively extending the original time limitation for requesting an extension. Thus, if the agency determines such an extension is proper, payment may be made to the employee. Vincent J. Markalonis, an employee of the United States Air Force, was transferred from Gulf Breeze, Florida, to Eglin 1/ The claim was referred to the Claims Group of this Office for settlement by Headquarters, Air Force Accounting and Finance Center.
