Chapman - Waiver - Relocation Expenses File: B-230880.2 Date: October 27, 1989 DIGEST Waiver is granted for an erroneous payment of relocation expenses where the employee relied on the agency's misinter- pretation of the applicable relocation regulations and where there is no indication of fraud, misrepresentation, fault or lack of good faith on the part of the employee. DECISION This responds to a request from Mr. Paul R. Gentille, Financial Manager, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Department of the Treasury, for a decision regarding the request by Mr. Thomas L. Chapman for waiver of collec- tion of relocation expenses erroneously paid to him in connection with his transfer to a new duty station. For the reasons discussed below, we grant waiver. BACKGROUND This decision follows up on our previous decision in Thomas L. Chapman, B-230880, Dec. 12, 1988, in which we held that Mr. Chapman was not entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in the sale of his residence at his former duty station since settlement did not occur until more than 3 years after the date he actually reported to his new duty station. Since the agency erroneously reimbursed Mr. Chapman for these real estate expenses, we informed Mr. Chapman of the procedures involved in pursuing a request for waiver of collection of this erroneous payment. Mr. Chapman's transfer from Asheville, North Carolina, to Buffalo, New York, occurred in 1983. His reporting date was tentatively set for September 25, 1983, but due to his taking some annual leave, Mr. Chapman did not actually report for duty at his new station until October 13. C~j 1.1
