C. 20540 LNITl FILE: B-215680 DATE: September 18, 1984 MATTER OF: Joel L. Morrison - Reimbursement of Government Employees for Transportation Purchased Through Travel Agents DIGEST: 1. An employee who pays for travel on official business with more than $100 of personal cash, contrary to Federal Travel Regulations para. 1-10.2b (September 1981), may be reimbursed if he provides a receipt or other evidence of purchase. 2. Employee who purchased airline ticket for travel in March 1984, from travel agent, may be reimbursed to the extent amount paid does not exceed cost of ticket procured directly from carrier, even though change to Federal Travel Regulations (Supp. 9, May 14, 1984) (FTR), specifically allowing this result was issued after travel was completed. This addition of FTR para. 1-3.4b(2)(b) was not revision of regulations, but instead was a clarification to bring FTR into accord with GAO cases and provisions of Joint Travel Regulations. Since record shows that employee had no alternative but to use travel agent, reimbursement is allowed as limited above. The question presented is whether a Federal employee traveling on Government business may be reimbursed for travel expenses when the employee: (1) expended more than $100 in cash contrary to the provisions of Federal Travel Regulations, FPMR 101-7, para. 1-10.2b (September 1981) (FTR); and (2) made use of a travel agent for a second time. We hold that the employee, Mr. Joel L. Morrison, may be reimbursed up to the amount he paid as long as it does not exceed the cost of the transportation if it had been procured
