Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Claim for Reimbursement of Travel and Transportation Expenses

B-185459 Apr 22, 1976
Jump To:

Highlights

An Army member appealed the disallowance of his claim for reimbursement of costs incurred for travel incident to leave and subsequent hospitalization before return to duty. Travel and transportation allowances are a form of reimbursement for persons traveling on Government business; it is a Government policy not to subsidize leave of members by payment of travel and transportation expenses. The member did not travel on Government business, and his claim for costs incurred in travel from leave to his duty station must be denied.
