Report Description:
The Postal Service outsources all relocation services to a relocation management firm (RMF). The RMF provides guidance to relocating employees on Postal Service policies and processes, ensures prompt payment of authorized expenses, and assists with arrangements for moving and storing household goods. On September 19, 2018, the Postal Service entered into a contract with the current RMF to manage its relocation program beginning February 1, 2019. Based on data from February 1, 2019, through May 12, 2020, this program authorized over 800 employee relocations and paid over $21 million in relocation benefits. Our objectives were to determine whether relocation benefits were reasonable and properly paid, the current RMF complied with contractual requirements, and the Postal Service effectively managed the relocation benefits program.
