               Subpart C--Travel Claims for Reimbursement
 
Sec. 301-71.204  Within how many calendar days after the submission of a proper travel claim must we reimburse the employee's allowable expenses?

    You must reimburse the employee within 30 calendar days after the 
employee submits a proper travel claim to the agency's designated 
approving office. You must use a satisfactory recordkeeping system to 
track submission of travel claims. For example, travel claims submitted 
by mail, in accordance with agency policy, could be annotated with the 
time and date of receipt by the agency. You could consider travel claims 
electronically submitted to the designated approving office as submitted 
on the date indicated on an e-mail log, or on the next business day if 
submitted after normal working hours. However, claims for the following 
relocation allowances are exempt from this provision:
    (a) Transportation and storage of household goods and professional 
books, papers and equipment;
    (b) Transportation of mobile home;
    (c) Transportation of a privately owned vehicle;
    (d) Temporary quarters subsistence expense, when not paid as lump 
sum;
    (e) Residence transaction expenses;
    (f) Relocation income tax allowance;
    (g) Use of a relocation services company;
    (h) Home marketing incentive payments; and
    (i) Allowance for property management services.
