Claim for Reimbursement for Closing Costs by Transferred Employee

An advance decision was requested as to whether an employee may be reimbursed for certain closing costs paid incident to his transfer. If the expenses listed are normally paid by the purchaser in the area in which the new house is located, they may be paid to the extent that they do not exceed the amount claimed for closing costs and a credit report. The amount claimed may be applied first to reimbursable expenses to insure the maximum benefit to the employee. (SW)
