J OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 2054B t reT91 DATE: February 23, 1979 Walter V. Smith -Reimbursement of Relocation Expenses' DIGEST: Transferred employee requests reconsideration of disallowance of claim for reimbursement of cost of hooking up ice maker and for $185 spent in settling lease required because of move from private to Government quarters at new station. Employee is not entitled to reimbursement for ice maker hook up since he was reimbursed $200 for miscellaneous expenses allowance and has not submitted documentation of expenses greater than $200. Employee is not entitled to reimburse- ment for $185 since statute and regulations provide for such reimbursement only at old duty station. This decision is in response a request from Mr. Walter V.

Mr. Smith has specifically requested that we reconsider our denial of his claim for reimbursement of the cost of hooking up an ice maker and for reimbursement of the $185 expenditure he incurred when he settled a lease in connection with his move from privately-owned quarters to Government quarters. In our earlier decision we denied reimbursement for the hook up of the ice maker, stating that it appeared to involve a structural change and therefore fell within the purview of Federal Travel reg- ulations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7, May 1973) para. 2-3.lc(13) which, in pertinent part, prohibits reimbursement for cost incurred in con- nection with structural alterations, remodeling or modernizing of living quarters, garages or other buildings to accommodate privately- owned automobiles, appliances or equipment * * *. We also stated that if the item could be allowed under FTR para. 2-3.lb(l), it would only be paid if Mr. Smith submitted evidence of miscellaneous ex- penses in excess of the $200 miscellaneous expense already paid to him. In Matter of Prescott A. Berry, B-191662 December 28, 1978, we denied an employee's claim for reimbursement of the expenses /
