Claim for Relocation Expenses Involving Settlement of Unexpired Lease

An employee of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) was assigned to a State education agency under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA). The assignment was terminated by DHEW a year earlier than agreed upon, and this early termination resulted in an expense to the employee of $555 in the settlement of his unexpired lease. The employee's claim for unexpired lease expense was denied because this expense was not authorized as an allowable expense incident to IPA assignments.
