Repayment of Travel Advances
In most instances a travel advance is 'paid off' when
a Travel Claim claim is processed for the traveler. The amount of the travel
advance is deducted from the claim amount and a check is issued to the
traveler for the remaining amount to be reimbursed. For example: If the
Travel Claim amount was 200.00, but there was a 100.00 travel advance associated
with the trip, the traveler would receive a check for 100.00.
In those instances when the amount of the reimbursable
claimed on the Travel Claim is LESS than the amount of the travel advance,
the Treasurer's Office will send an invoice to the traveler for the outstanding
amount owed. For example: If the Travel Claim amount was 200.00, and the
amount of the travel advance was 300.00, the Treasurer's Office would send
the traveler an invoice in the amount of 100.00. This amount is due upon
receipt.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to repay the amount owed on a travel
advance until you receive the invoice from the Treasurer's Office. Although
you may feel you owe a specific amount, until the Travel Office reviews
and audits the Travel Claim, this amount could change.
