THE COMPTRULLER GENERAL O'CISION .OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20546 FILE: B-182597 MATTER OF: DIGEST: DATE: nOV 24 1975 Joseph W. Finley - Extension of Settlement Date for Sale of House Employee seeking extension of settlement date limitation for house sale, under BOB Circular No. A-56 (Revised June 1969), which at that time (1970) required that an employee enter into a contract of sale or purchase within 1 year after transfer, must include a copy of that contract with the request for extension and the claim for reimbursement. Statement of supervisor as to date of contract is not sufficient, and neither extension of time nor claim may be allowed on that basis. This matter is before us on a request for reconsideration of Settlement Certificate Z-2513687, issuedAugust 29, 1974, by our Transportation and Claims Division, in which Mr. -Joseph W. Finley's claim for reimbursement of real estate expenses was disallowed. Under the auLhority of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Travel Order No. 32774-1, dated July 22, 1969, Mr. Finley was transferred from Jacksonville, Florida, to Melbourne, Florida, reporting there on July 25, 1969. According to the materials originally submitted to this Office, Mr. Finley executed a contract to sell his residence at his former duty station on November 9, 1970, with settlement taking place on December 4, 1970. However, a copy of the sales contract was not included with the submission. Under the regulations in force at that time, Bureau of the Budget (BOB) Circular No. A-56 (Revised June 1969), the 1-year settlement date limitation could be extended for an additional year if a contract of sale or purchase was entered into within the first year. Our Transportation and Claims Division disallowed Mr. Finley's claim because he had not entered into a contract within 1 year after he was transferred. With his request for reconsideration, Mr. Finley submitted a carbon copy of a short statement, typed on a plain piece of paper, and signed by Dan Brown, Jr., Chief, Melbourne Tower, stating that Mr. Finley had entered into a contract to sell his home in February 1970. No copy of the contract was included with the resubmission. q -7 ( gl
