To: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Transferee

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service wants to make your move as easy as possible. This handbook was developed to help you transition to your new location smoothly and quickly. It explains your entitlements, the basic process for a move, and the documents you must complete when you make a permanent change of station (PCS). Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the handbook before your move. It has been created to help you plan your move and prepare the necessary paperwork to ensure you receive all of the expense advances and reimbursements to which you are entitled, with minimal delays.

To ensure new transferees have the most up-to-date per diem and relocation information at their fingertips, this handbook will be updated periodically. In addition, the handbook will also be incorporated into the Service’s Manual (266 FW) and accessible via the Service's website.

If you have any questions about your move or this handbook, please feel free to call your Regional PCS Coordinator. A complete list of the Regional PCS Coordinators is provided on the next page of this handbook.
