MATTER OF:


WAUHINOTON, 0,0 U,054U



      DATE: December 21, 1982


Fraudulent Travel Voucher


    DIGEST:
            (1) A fraudulent claim for lodgings or
            meals taints entire claim for an actuatA
            subsistence expense allowance for any
            day on which a friaudulent claim is sub-
            mitted. Payment of subsistence expenses
            for supeh days will be denied to the em-
            ployee.

            (2)iA certifying officer may disallow
          claims for mealti which involved imprudent
          or unnecessary expenditures when employeei
          departs earlier than necessary for temporary
          duty station. However, an employee's other
          claims for expenses on that day should be
          allowed. A fraudulent claim for a subsequent
          day is a separable item and does not effect
          an otherwise proper claim for reimbursement.

     This action is in response to a request by an
authorized certifying officer at the Department of
Agriculture's National Finance Center regarding the
entitlement of an employee to reimbursement of expenses
claimed in connection with temporary duty travel where
the employee has fraudulently claimed certain of those
expenses.
