Recommendations

Update agency guidance to fully reflect and comply with federal guidance.

Agency Response Dated December 3, 2024: The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) is in the process of updating Management Directive (MD) 14.2, Relocation Allowances. As part of the update, OCFO staff has collaborated with the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer to revise the relocation process for efficiencies and will ensure that MD 14.2 fully reflects these updates while complying with federal guidance. On February 28, 2024, we informed you that this update would be complete by September 30, 2024, but the update is still delayed because of mediation between National Treasury Employees Union and the agency. Estimated Completed Date: September 30, 2025.<br />
