SUBJECT: Advance Transportation Expenses for Shipment of the Effects
of FS Retirees
28 July 1970
1. At my request, Office of Finance, called Mr. Bernstein
an 21 July 1970 concerni'rig a e Department's authority to authorize
payment of transportation expenses to a FS retiree following an official
determination of the date of his retirement but prior to the tune the
retirement occurs.
2. Mr. Bernstein quoted FAM 168.1, Advance Shipment of Effects,
as the Department's authority for allowing the advance shipment of goods.
While it primarily relates to the advance return of dependents in PCS
transfers, Mr. Bernstein foresaw no problem in handling shipments of
effects in retirement cases as well. He noted that the language of
FAM 168.1 also pertains to transfers and separation orders "when it is
administratively determined that it is in the best interests of the Service."
3. Mr. Bernstein sees no problem i.n reimbursing a retiree after the
effective date of his retirement for goods shipped at personal expense
prior to retirement. Only an authorizing travel order ~roul.d be required.
He also believes that it would be possible to provide, under authority of
a travel order, for the advance payment of transportation expenses to an
employee who desires to move effects prior to the effective date of
retirement, e.g. to an individual. who leaves his post before the effective
date of his retirement and enters a sick leave status ~.mmediately prior
to becoming a disability retiree. He cautioned that the period between
the authorization of transportation expenses and the agreed upon effective
date of retirement should be a reasonable one and a repayment agreement
similar to the one contained in FAM 168.1 should. be obtained as a safe-
guard against the possibility of the approved retirement not occurring at
the time stipulated.

~I. Tt should be noted Mr.. Bernstein's comments related to
advance shipment of effects and did not involve the payment of advance
travel costs. (Presumably, the same justification would apply.)
