handle is hein.gao/gaobadnyl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General fof the United States C 9 ) Washluin, f,C, 20548 Decision Matter of: James D. McKenzie File: B-243610 Date: Aujust 26, 1991 DECISION The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) asks whether Mr. James D. McKenzie may be reimbursed the moving expense3 paid by his private-sector employer after his retirement from the FBI.1/ For the following reasons we find that he may not be reimbursed. Under certain conditions, eligible Senior Executive Service (SES) appointees may have The government pay their moving expenses from their last duty station to the place to which they will reside upon retirement, commonly referred to as • last move home entitlement. Mr. McKenzie states that he negotiated a compensation plan with his post-government retirement employer that included moving expenses because he was unaware that he may have been eligible for the FBI's last move home program. He further states that after relocating at his new employer's expense, he learned that he might have been eligible for last home move benefits and submitted a claim for the moving costs ($7,998.01) paid by his employer. The FBI denied the claim on the grounds that Mr. McKenzie did not incur any out-of-pocket expenses and that payment by the FBI would duplicate payment. Mr. McKenzie argues that the FBI was negligent in informing him of his benefits and that, had he been properly informed, he would have negotiated a different compensation package with his new employer.2/ Since 1988, eligible SES members may be relocated at govern- ment expense to the place where they will reside after 1/ Mr. William E. Burrows, Jr., an authorized certifying officer, submitted the request. 2/ Mr. McKenzie also c-',mplains that a similarly situated SES member was reimbursed by the FBI for the relocation expenses paid by his post-retirement private-sector employer. We do not have the facts of that case before us; however, that appears contrary to the position stated by the FBI in its submission in Mr. McKenzie's case.
