The length of time an agency may pay for property management services under this part depends on the type of transfer.

(b) If an employee transfers to a foreign area post of duty, including successive foreign area tours of duty for which they signed a new service agreement, agencies may pay from the employee's effective date of transfer until they return to the last official station in the United States from which they transferred.

(c) If an employee transfers from a foreign area post of duty, including successive foreign area tours of duty for which they signed a new service agreement, to a different official station in the United States than the one from which they were transferred from for their foreign area tour of duty, agencies may pay for a period not to exceed one year from the employee's effective date of transfer to the United States, with up to a 1-year extension, under the same conditions required in § 302-11.4 of this subchapter.

(d) If an employee transfers to a foreign area post of duty, completes their service agreement, and remains there without signing a new service agreement, agencies may pay from the effective date of the employee's transfer to when the service agreement is completed.

(e) If an employee transfers to a foreign area post of duty and separates from Government service before completing their service agreement, agencies may pay from the effective date of the employee's transfer to the date of their separation.

(f) If an employee transfers within the United States or from a foreign area post of duty to a different official station in the United States than the one from which they were transferred for their foreign area tour of duty, and the employee separates from Government service before the time periods stated in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section, agencies may pay from the effective date of the employee's transfer to the date of their separation.
