handle is hein.gao/gaobadjli0001 and id is 1 raw text is: / C/2 o B-196853 THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 2054B DATE: June 10, 1981 MATTER OF: Bohdan P. Gregolynskyi An employee of the Department of the Army serving in Korea returned 5,189 pounds of his household goods to his place of actual residence in New York prior to his transfer from Korea. Upon a subsequent permanent change of station he shipped 350 pounds of unaccompanied baggage from Korea to the new duty station in Virginia and requested reimbursement for shipment of 10,860 pounds from New York to the new duty station. His prior shipment of household goods from Korea to place of actual residence is authorized under 5 U.S.C. § 5729(a) (1976) and Federal Travel Regulations but was in lieu of, not in addition to, his later entitlement upon his transfer to Virginia. Shipment of unaccompanied baggage from Korea and household goods from New York to new duty station on a subsequent change of station is authorized by 5 U.S.C. § 5724 (1976) and Federal Travel Regulations but may not exceed the cost of direct shipment from Korea to the new duty station less the amount previously paid for the prior ship- ment from Korea to the actual residence in New York State under 5 U.S.C. § 5729. The issue presented in this case is to what extent an employee may be reimbursed for shipment of household goods upon a permanent change of station from Korea to Virginia where there had been a prior shipment of the household goods from Korea to the employee's place of actual residence in New York State almost 2 years before the change of station. At the time of the change of station, unaccompanied baggage of 350 pounds was shipped from Korea to Virginia on a Govern- ment Bill of Lading and the employee seeks reimbursement for 10,860 pounds of household goods shipped at his own expense from the place of actual residence in New York State to the new duty station in Virginia. The shipment upon the change of station-may not exceed the cost of direct shipment from the old duty station to the new duty station less any amount previously paid for shipment from the old overseas duty DECISION FILE: DIGEST:
