Although the travel orders did not authorize the shipment of the employee's two vehicles, the employee chose to have them shipped with her household goods. The resulting debt for the excess costs of shipping the vehicles may not be waived. Generally, debts resulting from excess costs or excess weight charges may be considered for waiver only if the employee is able to show that the costs were incurred in reliance on an erroneous authorization from the agency. Although a representative from the carrier may have provided the employee with erroneous advice, the employee has not established that she received any erroneous advice from an agency official. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-265864/html/GAOREPORTS-B-265864.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-265864/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-265864.pdf GAO/B-265864 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-265864 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-265864; Dr. Loren T.
