handle is hein.gao/gaobactxh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO___ United States General Accounting Office ffice of Washington, DC 20548 General Counsel In Reply Referto: B-201612 Norman R. Swarthout APW 8, 181 P.O. Box 318 High Springs, Florida 32643 Dear Mr. Swarthout: Uot This is in response to your letter of December 6., 1980, requesting our Office's assistance in res Qving the problem you have encountered -in ob aining reim- bursement f'-re _ur relocation expenses incident to a permanent change of duty station and resolving the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) more general problem of arranging employee transfers. Your problem is in part a result of the FAA's failure to tell you about a requirerment for obtaining weight certificates in connection with the movement of your household goods under the commuted rate system. You didn't obtain the certificates on the initial move but state that upon obtaining advice from the FAA that reimbursement forsthe move could be based on weight certificates obtained thereafter, you * * * made arrangements to reweigh the goods, certify that nothing was added since the move and submit the weight certifi- cates. However, your voucher for payment was returned unpaid upon the basis that the weight certificates were obtained after the fact. The facts regarding your move are not fully set forth in your letter. However, we are enclosing copies of our decisions B-169117, March 16, 1970, and B-172979, July 9, 1971, which describe situations which may be similar to yours. In'both cases the employee obtained weight certificates after the fact of his original move and supplemented themi with.a statement that the goods then weighed were the.same as those that were originally moved. We are also enclosing a copy of B-180897, April 21, 1975. In that case the employee failed to obtain weight certificates in connection with his initial transfer. We held that he could not be reimbursed for movement of his household goods on the 676&z~ ~)
