handle is hein.gao/gaobadlne0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL O CISION OP THE UNITED STATUE ~WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548 FILE: B-212261 DATE: February 6, 1984 MATTER OF: Sheryl Templeman - One-way House-hunting Trip DIGEST: An Internal Revenue Service employee was authorized a house-hunting trip to Sheridan, Wyoming, to facilitate a permanent change of station. Federal Travel Regulations paragraph 2-4.1a provides that an employee's round trip for house-hunting, must be accom- plished prior to his/her reporting to the new official station. Since the employee reported for duty in Sheridan before completing the house-hunting trip, she must repay certain monies advanced to her for the trip. That she reported for duty only because she stayed in Sheridan to wait for her relocation check to arrive does not affect the application of the regula- tion. This decision is in response to a request for an advance decision from Elizabeth A. Allen, Chief, Account- ing Section, Southwest Region of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The issue presented is whether Sheryl Templeman, an employee of the IRS, must repay $572.45 for a house-hunting trip and related expenses because she reported for duty to her new official duty station before completing that trip. We hold that the amount must be repaid. In the fall of 1982, Ms. Templeman was transferred by the IRS from Washington, D.C., to Sheridan, Wyoming. To facilitate this transfer she applied for and was author- ized to make a house-hunting trip to Sheridan. She began the trip on Monday, October 26, 1982, and planned to return to Washington on Thursday, October 29, to pick up her car and drive it to Sheridan. This was to be her transportation to her new official duty station, so she was authorized mileage and per diem for the trip. She was to report for duty in Sheridan on Monday, November 1. / P35Svq O:-rnq )
