U.S. Government Accountability Office - Unavailability of Appropriated Funds to Subsidize Employees Long-Distance Home-to-Work Travel

Abstract

Enclosed are three U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) appropriations law decisions addressing the availability of appropriated funds to subsidize federal employees long-distance home-to-work travel costs. GAO has concluded that, without specific statutory authority providing otherwise, appropriations are not available for this personal expense. It is Congresss prerogative to determine the availability of appropriations for employees long-distance home-to-work travel. Unless or until Congress enacts legislation establishing, as a matter of public policy, that agencies may use the publics money for this personal expense of a federal employee, appropriations arenot available for this purpose.
