RECENT DECISIONS ON TRAVEL AND RELOCATION-Costs of Security System in Old House Is Not Reimbursable
Byron was transferred from Indianapolis to Milwaukee but before the transfer he had agreed to pay for a home security system at $39/month for three years. The new owners of his house did not want it and it did not work in Milwaukee so he placed it in storage and sought reimbursement for the three years of service. When the government requested an opinion from the appeals board they found two cases where they were able to come up with a general rule – the costs of purchasing and monitoring a security system are unallowable costs but the costs of disconnecting and connecting an older system from the old to new residence is allowable (CBCA 644-RELO).
