# 302-11.4 Time limitations.

As noted in § 302-2.2, all aspects of the relocation must be completed within 1 year; therefore, the settlement dates for the sale and purchase or lease termination transactions must occur not later than 1 year after the day an employee reports for duty at their new official station. Agencies may extend the 1-year limitation to complete residence transactions for up to one additional year for reasons beyond the employee's control and acceptable to the agency. An extension of time to complete residence transactions also extends the time to complete any other aspect of the relocation that is still pending. To have the initial time period extended, the employee must submit a request to their agency prior to the expiration date.
