THECOMPTROLLEP GENERAL
DECISION .\OF THE UNITED STATES
S WASHINGTON, D.C. 20546
FILE: B-195976 DATE: February 8, 1980
MVATTLE OF: Donald C. Cardelli-
Relocation expenses]
DIGEST: 1. An FBI employee stationed in Phil-
adelphia was appointed as a special
agent and detailed to Washington,
D.C., for 16 weeks' training at FBI
Academy, Quantico, Virginia, and
upon completion of training assigned
to permanent duty in Baltimore.
Employee may be reimbursed for sale
of residence .in Philadelphia upon
transfer to Baltimore since em-
ployees are entitled to relocation
expenses incident to a permanent
change of station interrupted by
a temporary period of training.
Washington, D.C. was a duty sta-
tion for administrative purposes
only during the training period.
2. Matter of Hughie L. Ratliff,
B-192614, March 7, 1979, held that
FBI special agent having residence
at old permanent duty station
before 16 weeks' training at
Quantico, Virginia, was entitled
to reimbursement for sale of resi-
dence incident to permanent change
of station. Ratliff applies retro-
actively since it followed well-
established precedent. Therefore,
FBI employee who was appointed as
special agent and who sold house
before Ratliff was decided, is
entitled to sales expenses inci-
dent to transfer.
The principal issue presented in this case is whether
the decision in Matter of Fuahie L. Patliff, B-102614,
March 7, 1979, should be applied retroactively or prospec-
tively only.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadhzg0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
