SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Federal agencies authorize relocation entitlements to those 
individuals listed at FTR Sec.  302-1.1 and those assigned under the 
Government Employees Training Act (GETA) (5 U.S.C. Chapter 41) which 
must be used within one-year. Some agencies will authorize TQSE and a 
Househunting trip (HHT) to assist employees with temporary expenses 
when relocating to the new duty station. The FTR limits the location of 
where temporary lodging may occur, how long they may receive 
assistance, and at what per diem rate expenses are based. Hurricane Ida 
has affected locations in Mississippi, Louisiana, New York, and New 
Jersey which has resulted in various travel-related disruptions to 
relocating employees. Accordingly, this GSA Bulletin allows agencies to 
determine whether to implement waivers of time limits established by 
the FTR for completion of all aspects of relocation, temporary 
quarter's locations at the new duty station and per diem rates for 
TQSE, and per diem rates for HHTs.
