2-0814 Exhibit 3: Sample Letter To Employing Agency Authorizing Payment
Dear EMPLOYING AGENCY OFFICIAL:
We understand that you are attempting to reemploy CLAIMANT NAME, who has requested payment of
relocation expenses by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP).
Under the provisions of 20 C.F.R. 10.123(f), OWCP may pay the relocation expenses of a reemployed
claimant as long as the expenses are authorized according to Federal travel regulations for permanent
change of duty station. This Office has found that the position accepted by CLAIMANT NAME is suitable,
and relocation expenses for [him/her] may therefore be paid.
We understand that CLAIMANT NAME has already moved. [Or: We understand that your agency is able to
advance travel funds to the claimant. Please release such funds on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
For example, the amount required for temporary lodging should be forwarded first, followed by a separate
advance for transportation of household goods.]
CLAIMANT NAME should submit bills and receipts for each expense to your office for examination. For all
approved expenses, copies of the travel authorization, bill of lading and travel voucher should be
forwarded to this office as soon as possible. (Copies of hotel bills, transportation tickets, etc., need not be
provided).
Any disagreement between CLAIMANT NAME and your agency with regard to payment of any relocation
expense should be referred to OWCP for resolution. Also, please note that payment of relocation
expenses for any other employee must be authorized in advance by OWCP.
Sincerely,
SUPERVISORY CLAIMS EXAMINER
