§ 302-3.210 Reimbursement for immediate family members returning to the place of actual residence before employee.

If the employee's immediate family member(s) return to the place of actual residence within or outside the United States before the employee, and the employee pays for their return, reimbursement will occur when the employee becomes eligible for return travel and transportation. The employee must provide their agency with all receipts and documentation to support the cost. Early return expenses for the immediate family are limited to transportation and shipment of household goods and personal effects. Early return expenses do not include other relocation expenses such as TQSE and miscellaneous expense allowance. For household goods, the employee will be reimbursed for transporting part of their household goods with the immediate family and the rest of the household goods when they return as long as the combined weight of the two shipments does not exceed the total authorized weight limit.
