Reimbursement for Sale of Residence With Title in Name of Employee's Mother-in-Law

An advance decision was requested concerning a transferred employee's entitlement to reimbursement for expenses of selling his residence whose title was in the name of his mother-in-law. In spite of the fact that the employee paid all expenses associated with the residence, reimbursement was not allowable since the mother-in-law did not qualify as a dependent or member of the immediate family as required by regulations.
