                     Subpart B_Conference Attendees

 

Sec.  301-74.26  What is the traveler required to do if he/she is unable 

to attend an event for which they were reimbursed for an advanced discounted 

payment of a conference or training registration fee?



    In all cases where a traveler is unable to attend an event for which 

a discounted registration fee was paid and reimbursed in advance of the 

event, the traveler must seek a refund of the registration fee and repay 

the agency with any refund received. If no refund is made, the agency 

must absorb the advanced payment if the traveler's failure to attend the 

event was caused either by an agency decision or for reasons beyond the 

employee's control that are acceptable to the agency, e.g., unforeseen 

illness or emergency. If no refund is made, and the traveler's failure 

to attend the scheduled event is due to reasons deemed unexcusable by 

the agency, the traveler must repay the agency for the amount advanced.
