41 C.F.R. §§ 302-3.203–302-3.209

Employees are eligible to receive an allowance for overseas tour renewal travel if:

Employees are eligible to receive an allowance for round trip tour renewal travel from Alaska or Hawaii only if the employee meets the criteria in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section:

The employee and their immediate family may travel to another U.S. location (other than to their place of actual residence) under a tour renewal agreement. However, the agency will only reimburse for the amount of authorized expenses from the post of duty to the place of actual residence and return (as appropriate) on a usually traveled route. The employee is not required to spend time at their place of actual residence to receive reimbursement; however, a substantial amount of time must be spent in the U.S. if the place of actual residence is located there.

If travel is to another overseas location (instead of the U.S.), the employee will be reimbursed only if their actual residence is within that country in which they are taking their leave, and then they will only be reimbursed for their authorized travel and transportation expenses.

If an employee fails to complete their period of service under the new service agreement for reasons that are not acceptable to the agency, the employee must pay the Government:

If the employee violates the new service agreement, the Government will reimburse the employee for return travel and transportation to the employee's place of actual residence only if the employee did not receive all of their allowances under a previous service agreement in which they successfully completed their required period of service. The Government will then authorize the reimbursement cost for return travel and transportation expenses from the former post of duty to the place of actual residence.
