# 302-3.304 Requirements and special considerations for receiving reimbursement for moving expenses.

Before receiving reimbursement for moving expenses, the employee must submit a request to their agency for authorization and approval of their moving expenses with their tentative moving dates and the origin and destination location of their planned move, within the timeframe and format specified by their agency.

(a) Travel and shipment of the HHG should begin from the last official station.

(b) The employee will be authorized to separate at the place where they have chosen to reside within the United States and will only be reimbursed for expenses up to the cost of travel and transportation expenses from their authorized official station to the place in the U.S. they have elected to reside.

(c) The employee will not receive last move home benefits if upon separation they elect to reside in a different geographical area which is less than 50 miles from their official station.

(d) The employee may have their household goods transported from more than one location. However, they will only receive reimbursement based on the cost of shipment from their official station, in one lot by the most economical route to the location where they elect to reside.
