An employee ships some HHE from post to EFMs on TSMA in the U.S. If the HHE does not arrive within 60 days may TSMA be extended beyond this period?
Usually TSMA under DSSR 262.3a may be paid for a maximum of 60 days, but an additional 30 days may be allowed, with agency approval based on extreme or unusual circumstances, per DSSR 267.1b.(2). The employee at post should submit an SF-1190 (Rev. 07/2009) to the appropriate agency official before the end of the 60-day period to request an extension of TSMA payments for the additional 30 days. An example of extreme or unusual circumstances would be a situation in which the employee made reasonable efforts to ship the HHE to his EFMs in the U.S. but the shipment did not arrive in this time period.
