After the Trip - Fast Action Required

The form used to present your travel claim for expenses is often called a Travel Voucher (TV).

  • Timing is critical - complete and submit the travel claim/voucher immediately, within 5 calendar days, after returning from official travel.
    •
  • Information - provide all necessary information and attach or submit receipts as required by your agency.
    •
  • Follow up - do everything you can to speed your claim through the approval process. Know the sign-off process and follow-up.
    •
  • Reimbursement - set up direct deposit to your bank account ahead of time, so that you will not have to wait for a check to be mailed.
    •
  • Use the amount reimbursed by your agency to pay the travel charge card bill in full.
    •
  • Pay the balance on your travel charge card bill in full before it becomes delinquent.
