Rudd - Real Estate Transaction Reimbursement for Mortgage Credit Certificate Application Fee tile: B-245614 Date: March 20, 1992 DIGEST A transferred employee, who purchasedoa residence at her new duty station, requests reimbursement of a Mortgage Credit Certificate application fee. The claim was denied by her employing agency as a nonreimbursable finance charge, Although the fee is not a finance charge since it was paid to a third party and was not a prerequisite for financing, the fee may not be reimbursed since it is not identified in the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) as a reimbursable expense, nor is it similar in nature to other fees and charges listed in the FTR in 41 CF,R, § 302-6,2(d)(i) through (v), nor is it a fee for a required service under FTR § 302-6.2(f). DECISION A transferred employee requests reimbursement for a $250 Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) fee incurred incident to the purchase of a residence at her new duty station.'
