Reimbursement for Travel to Home of Selection Incident to Retirement

Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

A retired member requested reconsideration of the denial of his claim for reimbursement for personal travel to his home of selection incident to his retirement from the Navy. The member, who was reimbursed for his international travel expenses by his civilian employer, was not entitled to reimbursement for his travel expenses to Iran since such travel was not performed at the employee's personal expense as required by the applicable regulations.
