§ 301-8.4 - Authorization or approval.

(a) Requests for authorization or approval of actual expense reimbursement. It is the employee's responsibility to request authorization or approval for actual subsistence expense reimbursement when conditions appear to warrant such reimbursement and to furnish appropriate justification to support the request.

(b) Prior authorization of actual expense travel. Normally, travel on an actual expense basis should be authorized in advance and the daily maximum rate authorized by the agency shall be stated in the travel authorization.

(c) Approval after travel is completed. If travel is performed without prior written authorization or is authorized on a per diem basis and otherwise conforms to the provisions of this part, reimbursement for actual and necessary subsistence expenses may be approved after completion of the travel.
