Jarmack - Reimbursement of Relocation Expenses - IPA Assignment 1. An employee stationed in Chicago, Illinols, was given an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) assignment to Phoenix, Arizona, and was subsequently transferred to Washington, Dec, Action of the certifying officer in suspending reimbursement of the expenses of a house-hunting tr.p from Phoenix to Washington and expenses of selling a home in Phoenix is proper, No such reimburse- ment is provided under the IPA and since Phoenix was not his permanent duty station such expenses are not reimbursable under 5 U.S.C. §§ 5724 and 5724a$ 2. A computation based on the constructive cost of a house-hunting trip from Chicago to Washington is correct since Chicago was the employee's old duty station. Reirrburse- ment of relocation expenses incurred by the employee in selling his Chicago resi- dence is proper since the administrative intent was to transfer the employee at a later date so that he would not be returning to his old duty station. 3. According to Federal Claims Collection Standards an emplqyee may be pcrmitted to repay his debt in regular installments over a period of not more than 3 years (see 4 C.FR. § 102.9). The agency should charge interest on that debt, in conformity with the Treasury Fiscal Requirements Manual. Mr. Clarence E. Smith, a certifying officer with the Department of Health and Human Services (DuS), raises seven questions regarding an employeole entitlement to reim- butsement for relocation expenses associated with a change of permanent duty station after an Intergovernmental Personnel Act assignment. The certifying officer's settjment is cor- rect for the reasons that follow. #, - .' 'V ' ..~* -.....*.S - '9 .~ear.v*- .~-p---vne, .t.-. DECISION FILEi DFt
