He thereafter sought reimbursement for his relocation expenses based on his Mobility Agreement which stated in part that benefits will be provided under controlling regulations. Under Reconsideration of Platt, 61 Comp. Gen. 156 (1981), agencies may issue a regulation which sets forth conditions under which relocation expenses will or will not be paid, provided that the information is clearly communicated in advance and in writing. Paragraph C4100-2(c) of Volume 2, Joint Travel Regulations, is controlling and specifically provides for such discretionary determination. Since the job opportunity announcement stated that the benefits would not be paid, the claim is denied. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-259960/html/GAOREPORTS-B-259960.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-259960/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-259960.pdf GAO/B-259960 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-259960 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-259960; Darrell M.
