Highlights

A member's widow requested reconsideration of the disallowance of her claim for reimbursement for transportation of her household goods incident to the retirement of her late husband. She was not entitled to reimbursement since shipment of the goods was not made until more than 3 years after the member's retirement and more than 1 year after his death; reimbursement for such expenses is allowable only for the member personally unless he dies before executing his rights within the authorized period.
