This bill would allow federal agency leaders to offer relocating employees a single lump-sum payment covering moving costs, instead of the current piece-by-piece reimbursement system. GSA would be required to write rules covering when agencies can use this option, how the payment amount is calculated, and how employees can appeal the amount to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals.
Federal employees who are relocated for work, along with the agencies and staff who manage their moving expenses.
The change could simplify relocation payments for both employees and agency staff, but the actual effect depends on rules GSA has not yet written. Employees who disagree with a lump-sum offer would need to use a formal appeals process rather than itemized dispute resolution.
