handle is hein.gao/gaobadldj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES ~%2 4'WAS-HINGTON. 0..C. 20548 FILE: B-210767 DATE: June 9, 1983 MATTER OF: Dr. Albert B. Deisseroth - Reimbursement of Real Estate Expenses - Public Health Service Officer DIGEST: A Commissioned Officer in the Public Health Service (PHS) was separated from the officer corps and recruited to fill a manpower shortage position in the Veterans' Administration. Employee seeks reimbursement of real estate expenses occasioned by sale of his old residence in Maryland and purchase of new residence in California. Reim- bursement is denied because as a com- missioned officer in the PHS, employee was a member of a uniformed service whose pay and allowances are prescribed by Title 37 of U.S. Code, which does not provide for such reimbursement. Consequently, claimant was not embraced by reimbursement provisions of SS 5721-5733 of Title 5, applicable to civilian employees of Government only. Thus, purported transfer was a separa- tion from uniformed service followed by subsequent new appointment, and there is no authority-for reimbursement of real estate expenses for new appointees. Thistresponds to a request for decision submitted by the Assistant Deputy Administrator for Budget and Finance, Office of Budget and Finance, Veterans' Administration (VA), concerning a claim for reimbursement of real estate expenses for Dr. Albert B. Deisseroth under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 5724a(a)(4). The issue presented is whether a Commissioned Officer of the Public Health Service (PHS) is entitled to reimburse- ment of- real estate expenses after separation from service and subsequent to reemployment with the VA. For the reasons stated below, we find no statutory authority which would allow for such reimbursement.
