GOVERNMENT TRAVEL CHARGE CARD PROGRAM
General
The Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998 (TTRA) (Public Law 105-264) mandates that all Federal employees, including Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Corps officers, who perform official Government travel must use a Government contractor-issued travel charge card to pay for official travel expenses incurred after February 29, 2000. The law also provides for the payment of a late payment fee to the officers when an OPDIV/Program/Agency fails to reimburse them for approved expenses within 30 days after submission of a proper voucher.
Purpose
Within the Department, the travel card program is intended to facilitate and standardize the use by commissioned corps travelers, to ensure a safe, effective, convenient, commercially available method to pay for expenses incident to official travel. The Government travel charge card will be used by commissioned corps officers to pay for all costs incidental to official business travel, including travel advances, lodging, transportation, rental cars, meals, and other incidental expenses, unless otherwise specified.
