After issuing travel orders and paying employee's voucher for expenses incurred, FAA determined that he was not entitled to expenses and seeks repayment of the expenses paid. Employee's request for waiver of the debt is granted. Before incurring expenses, employee questioned officials as to his eligibility, both before and after issuance of orders, and was repeatedly assured that he was eligible for relocation benefits. GAO finds that he incurred the expenses in good faith reliance on his travel orders and was without fault in accepting payments for those expenses. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-272711-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-272711-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-272711-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-272711-2.pdf GAO/B-272711.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-272711-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-272711.2; Matter of: Michael R.
