Veselenak, USN (Retired) File: B-261774 Date: November 27, 1995 DIGEST Retired member who listed mother's address in Ohio as home of selection but intended to retire to Florida is only entitled to moving expenses to Ohio, where he resided for more than one year because shipment may not be made for the convenience of the member to some other place for reshipment later to ultimate destination. DECISION Lieutenant Commander John C. Veselenak, USN (Retired) has appealed the settlement of our Claims Group which denied his claim of $1,294.23 for household goods (HHG) moving expenses incident to his retirement. Lieutenant Commander Veselenak retired from the Navy effective July 1, 1992, while stationed in San Diego, California, where he resided with his mother who was undergoing medical treatment. He states that it was his intention to retire to the Gulf coast of Florida after accompanying his mother to her home in Pleasant City, Ohio, and conducting a job search in Florida. On the DD Form 1299, Application for Shipment and/or Storage of Personal Property, dated July 8, 1992, he listed Pleasant City, Ohio, as the destination of his HHG. Lieutenant Commander Veselenak states that he intended the HHGs to remain in storage there until later shipment to Florida and that personnel in the personal property office in San Diego had approved the plan. The HHGs were placed in storage in nearby Columbus, Ohio, at government expense for 1 year after which the officer paid for the additional storage expense until they were shipped to Bradenton, Florida, in late October 1993 and were delivered on November 2, 1993, at a cost of $1,889.73. The Navy reimbursed only $595.70 of the claim, the cost of delivering the HHGs from storage to a Columbus, Ohio, address. Lieutenant Commander Veselenak appealed the remaining $1,294.23 to our Claims Group which denied the claim based 11421122
