Transfer and Home Leave Expenses after Break in Service

An Authorized Certifying Officer requested a decision concerning an employee's claim. Reinstatement of home leave and relocation entitlements were requested by a Forest Service employee following break in service within 1 year of signing overseas tour renewal agreement. The employee was not entitled to recoup travel expenses refunded to the agency at the time of break in service, but was entitled to have his debt for home leave travel offset against entitlements remaining from his original overseas service agreement.
