20 CFR 617.47 - Moving allowance.
- Section Number: 617.47
- Section Name: Moving allowance.
(a) Computation. The amount of a moving allowance payable under
Sec. 617.45(a)(2) shall be 90 percent of the total of the allowable
costs under either (1), (2), or (3) of this paragraph, and 90 percent of
the total allowable costs under (4) of this paragraph:
(1) Commercial carrier. Allowable costs for moving household goods
and personal effects of an individual and family, if any, shall not
exceed the maximum number of pounds net weight authorized under the
Federal travel regulations (see 41 CFR part 101-7) by commercial carrier
from the individual's old residence to the individual's new residence in
the area of relocation, including reasonable and necessary accessorial
charges, by the most economical commercial carrier the individual
reasonably can be expected to use. Before undertaking such move, the
individual must submit to the State agency an estimate from a commercial
carrier as to the cost thereof. Accessorial charges shall include the
cost of insuring such goods and effects for their actual value or
$10,000, whichever is least, against loss or damage in transit, if a bid
from a licensed insurer is obtained by the individual and approved by
the State agency before departure. If a State agency finds it is more
economical to pay a carrier an extra charge to assume the responsibility
of a common carrier for such goods and effects, 90 percent of such extra
charge, but not exceeding $50, shall be paid in lieu of the cost of
insurance.
(2) Trailer or rental truck--(i) Trailer. If household goods and
personal effects are moved by trailer, the allowable costs shall be:
(A) If the trailer is hauled by private vehicle, the cost per mile
for the use of the private vehicle at the prevailing mileage rate
authorized under the Federal travel regulations (see 41 CFR part 101-7)
for the usually traveled route from the individual's old residence to
the individual's new residence in the area of relocation; and
(B) lf the trailer is rented, and of the type customarily used for
moving household goods and personal effects, the rental fee for each day
reasonably required to complete the move; or
(C) The actual charge if hauling is by commercial carrier,
(ii) Rental truck. If household goods and personal effects are moved
by rental truck of the type customarily used for moving household goods
and personal effects, the allowable costs shall be:
(A) The rental fee for each day reasonably required to complete the
move; and
(B) The necessary fuel for such rental truck paid by the individual.
(3) House trailer. If a house trailer or mobile home was used as the
individual's place of residence in the old area and will be so used in
the new area, the allowable costs of moving such house trailer or mobile
home shall be:
(i) The commercial carrier's charges for moving the house trailer or
mobile home;
(ii) Charges for unblocking and reblocking;
(iii) Ferry charges, bridge, road, and tunnel tolls, taxes, fees
fixed by a State or local authority for permits to transport the unit in
or through its jurisdiction, and retention of necessary flagmen; and
(iv) The cost of insuring the house trailer or mobile home, and the
personal effects of the individual and family, against loss or damage in
transit, in accordance with the provisions in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section.
(4) Temporary storage. If temporary storage of household goods and
personal effects is necessary, the cost of such temporary storage for a
period not to exceed 60 days.
(b) Travel. Payments under this section shall be in addition to
payments for travel expenses for the individual and family, if any,
under Sec. 617.45(a)(1), except that the allowable cost for a private
vehicle used to haul a trailer may not be paid under this section if any
cost with respect to such private vehicle is payable under any other
provisions of this subpart E.
