Wilson - Relocation Expenses File: B-228878 Date: October 21, 1988 DIGEST Employee transferred laterally to the same position and grade he held previously is properly denied reimbursement for relocation expenses where the position to which he transferred had no further promotion potential as such a move is primarily for the benefit and convenience of the employee. DECISION A civilian employee of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks reimbursement of relocation expenses incurred in connection with a lateral transfer within DLA.l/ For the reasons that follow we find the employee not to be entitled to such reimbursement. In July 1986, Mr. Bernard W. Wilson, a DLA Contract Price/Cost Analyst stationed at Owego, New York, applied for a lateral reassignment to the same position at the same grade with no further promotion potential in Syracuse, New York. Mr. Wilson's application was in response to a published Job Opportunity Announcement (JOA), JOA No. 253-86. In September 1986, Mr. Wilson was advised By DLA that he was the tentative selectee, but that even if his selection was approved, expenses for the move would not be authorized because the reassignment was deemed to be primarily for his own benefit and convenience. Subsequent- ly, Mr. Wilson submitted a statement that he was aware that he would have to pay his own travel and transportation expenses. 1/ This matter was submitted to this Office by Headquarters, Defense Logistics Agency through the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and was assigned PDATAC Control No. 87-15.
