By: FEDweek StaffThe GSA has proposed a clarification of policies on determining an employee’s or new hire’s eligibility for benefits for relocating from overseas such as travel and transportation, shipment of household goods and periodic “home leave” travel.
While determining what federal travel policies call the “actual place of residence” typically is “straightforward” for those living in the U.S., “residency may be unclear” if the person is outside the U.S. and its territories and possessions, says a February 22 Federal Register notice.
“This form will allow employees, job candidates, and the agency’s human resources specialists, to more easily determine the actual place of residence by working through a series of guided questions on the form’s worksheet. Following completion of the form’s worksheet, the employee, candidate, and human resources specialist can summarize the determination on the form’s front cover sheet,” the notice says.
The actual place of residence for long-term posts overseas commonly is indicated by the lease or sale of the employee’s primary U.S. dwelling, changes in the declared U.S. voting registration location, and/or changes in the state and local income or property tax jurisdictions,” it adds.
