V205c-d B-189824 PATE: Septembar 7, 1978 IVATTER 010 1ST: OF: Christy 0, Brost - Real Estate Expenses - Time Limitation Employee, after transfer to new duty tation on September 4, 1973, was authorized A-yrar extension within which to sell his residence, Hie scld residence at old duty station through tttnsaction known as contract for deed on Augun6 26, 1975,, He incurred additional expenses on Catober 21, 197?, when pur- chaser paid balance due on contract, Since equitable title to property passed to buyer upon execution of contract for deed on August 26, that date is settle- ment date for purpose of 2-year time limitation on sale. Employee may also be reimbursed for autho- rized real estate expenses incurred subsequent to date contract was executed if expenses are reasonably foreseeable as to amount when con!ract was executed and if payments are made within maxImum 2-year time limit for settling real estate transaction under FTR para. 2-0. le. Additional expenses here were incurred more than 2 years after transfer and may not be reimbursed. This decision responds to a request from Judith it. Harris, an authorized certifying officer of the United States DepArtment of the Interior, The request concerns the claim of Mr. Christy G. Brost, an employee of the Bureau of Reclamation, for real estate expenses incurred pursuant to a change of official duty station. The issue is whether he may be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred more than 2 years after the effective date of his transfer. Mr. Brost was transferred from Grand Junction, Colorado, to Denver, Colorado, and he reported for duty at Denver' on September 4, 1073, He was granted a 1-year extension for completing the sale of his former residence in accordance with the Federal Travel Iegula- tions (FTR) (PMIR 101-7) paragraph 2-6. to (May 1973). Mr. Brost therefore had 2 years from the date he reported for duty at Denver to complete the residence transactions for which lie would be ititlted to claim reimbursement. The cortifying officer states that Mr. Brost submitted a claim for reimbursement of the expenses of selling his former residence. K I I FILE: I I
