Sec. 301-71.301  In situations where a lodging facility requires the 

payment of a deposit, may we reimburse an employee for an advance room 
deposit prior to the beginning of scheduled official travel?

    Yes, you may reimburse an employee an advance room deposit, when 
such a deposit is required by the lodging facility to secure a room 
reservation, prior to the beginning of an employee's scheduled official 
travel. However, if the employee is reimbursed the advance room deposit, 
but fails to perform the scheduled official travel for reasons not 
acceptable to the agency, resulting in the forfeit of the deposit,

the employee is indebted to the Government and must repay that amount in 
a timely manner as prescribed by you.
