D.C. 2054U FILE: B-197386 DATE: June 15, 1983 MATTER OF: Gene Daly - Claims for Reimbursement of Travel Expenses DIGEST: 1. Employee appeals Claims Group denial of travel claims and seeks investigation of his claim. Our procedures for claims settlement in 4 C.F.R. Part 31 do not provide for investigations, interviews of witnesses, or adversary hearings. Claims are decided on basis of written record, and burden of proof is on the claimant. 4 C.F.R. S 31.7. 2. DOE employee seeks reimbursement for two trips to Denver, Colorado, on temporary duty which agency denied on the basis that the travel was unauthorized. Where first trip was supported by employee's blanket travel authorization and statements from other employees justifying need for trip, that travel may be reimbursed. Absent such evidence supporting second trip, that claim is denied. 3. DOE employee claims agency was arbitrary and capricious in denying certain meal costs incurred during temporary duty travel. Our decisions require that employees act prudently in incurring expenses, and where the agency determines what constitutes reasonable expenses for meals, we will not substi- tute our judgment unless the agency has been arbitrary, capricious, or clearly erroneous. The agency's action in this case was consistent with our decisions and has not been proved to be arbitrary or capricious. c cS/c
