handle is hein.gao/gaobaddvh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: .MPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 11-172594 Deceaber 14, 1972 0 9 96 Dea Mr. Borda: Reference Is made to your letter dated July 19, 1972. assigned PDTATAC Control No. 72-34 by which you request an advance decision con- cerning the proper method for the funding of transfer expenses when an employee who has been separated from service in one component Depart- ment within the Department of Defense (DOD) due to a reduction in force or transfer of function is reemployed at a different location by a different component within DOD after a break in service of not more than one year and is entitled to reimbursement of transfer expenses under 5 U.S.C. 5724a(c). You note that our decisions in 51 Comp. Gen. 14 (1971) and 5-172594, June 8, 1972, which involved separations at oversese stations and reemployment in the continental United States in circumstances covered by 5 U.S.C. 5724a(c), authorized a method of.split-funding' with respect to the total costs of the transfer. The question you now raise concerns the funding requirements in similar circumstances but with the difference that the employee is separated pnd reemployed at duty stations in the continental United States. You indicate that in cases involving transfer caused by reduction in force or transfer of function it has been the general policy of DOD that the losing activity will pay the necessa-y travel and transporta- tion expenses. This policy is implemented by paragraph C1053-2b(1)(b) of the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR). However, DOD did not intend that regulation to cover cases in which there is a break in service with transfer costs payable under 5 U.S.C. 5724a(c). See 51 Coup. Gen. 14, supra. 5 U.S.C. 5724a(c) provides: (c) Under such regulations as the President may prescribe, a former employee separated by reason of reduc- tion in force or transfer of function who within 1 year - after the separation is reemployed by a iontemporary appointment at a different geographical location from that where the separation occurred may be allowed and paid the expenses authorized by sections 5724, 5725, 5726(b). and 5727 of this title, and may receive the ,aenefits authorized PUBI Ii-D DECISION 52 Comp. Gen. .'
