Sec. 302-3.5  If I travel to my first official station before I have been appointed, will I be reimbursed for my relocation expenses?

    Generally, you may not be reimbursed for relocation expenses 
incurred before you have been appointed to a Federal position and signed 
an agreement to remain in Government service for 12 months after 
appointment. However there is an exception for appointees who have 
performed Presidential transition activities. Such appointees may be 
reimbursed allowable travel and transportation expenses incurred at any 
time following the most recent Presidential election once they have 
signed a service agreement. However, appointment must occur in the same 
fiscal year as the Presidential transition activities.
