Highlights
The Mine Safety and Health Administration requested a decision regarding reimbursement of an employee's travel and transportation expenses. GAO noted that the employee requested and received an extension to the 2-year limitation for completion of his real estate transactions. GAO held that when an agency grants an extension for completion of real estate transactions, it automatically grants an extension for travel and transportation expense claims. Accordingly, the agency may reimburse the employee for his travel and transportation expenses.
