Fontanella - Reimbursement for moving DIGEST: expenses incident to transfer of official duty station. VA employee applied for transfer for personal reasons and agreed to the transfer at his personal expense. He is not entitled'to reimbursement of moving expenses incurred incident to transfer since agency bears no respon- sibility for payment of moving expenses where transfer is initiated by employee for personal benefit or convenience, as opposed to agency's responsibility to pay such expenses when it recruits, requests, or orders employee to transfer to different location. This is a request for reconsideration of a settlement certif- icate issued by our Transportation and Claims Division on April 25, 1975, which disallow~ed the reimbursement of moving expenses incurred by Mr. Dante P. Fontanella, an employee of the Veterans Administration (VA) incident to transfer of his official duty station from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Los Angeles California, effective November 12, 1972. The record indicates that Mr. Fontanella desired to transfer to the Southern California area in view of his wife's long standing poor health. Mr. Fontanella signed the Intra-Agency Transfer Request on September 22, 1972. Item 15 of that transfer request stated that travel and transportation were not authorized. Con- sequently, no travel orders were issued by the VA since it determined that funds were not available and it considered that the transfer was for the benefit of the employee at his request. Mr. Fontanella appeals on the ground that a vacancy existed and that it was not created for him. He also states that he had the necessary quali- fications. With regard to this matter Office of Management and Budget Circular A-56, August 17, 1971, Section 1.1c is for application and states, in pertinent part, as followss M L93 36--q -V7 b
