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?

track submission of travel claims. For example, travel claims submitted

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;
