O.C. 20548 DATE: February 9, 1983 MATTER OF: Jan Evans - Travel Expenses - Reduction in Force DIGEST: Employee who was separated by a reduction in force in San Francisco, California, is not entitled to travel expenses incurred when she traveled at a later date to San Francisco, from her home in Maryville, Washington, to accept a temporary appoint- ment. There is no statutory authority for payment since 5 U.S.C. § 5724a(c) requires that the employee must be reemployed in a nontemporary position, and in a different geographical location, in order to be reim- bursed. This decision is in response to a letter from Ms. Jan Evans, a former employee of the Community Services Administration, San Francisco, California. Ms. Evans claims reimbursement for travel expenses incurred when she traveled from her home in Maryville, Washington, to San Francisco, to accept a permanent appointment with the Office of Community Services (OCS), Department of Health and Human Services. The issue we are presented is whether a former employee, who is separated by reason of reduction in force, is entitled to travel expenses incurred in returning to the same geographical location from which separated. The claim is denied since there is no statutory authority for payment. BACKGROUND Ms. Evans was separated from the Community Services Administration by a reduction in force in September 1981, in San Francisco, California. In March, 1982, she was offered a permanent position with the OCS in San Francisco. She accepted the position. Since Ms. Evans had moved away from the area after separation to Maryville, Washington, it was necessary for her to return to San Francisco.
