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.
