Prevent delays, collect travel pay Published Feb. 13, 2011 By Master Sgt. Collen McGee 433rd Airlift Wing LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Delays happen. Sometimes they aren't avoidable, like winter weather and air travel. When it comes to getting travel pay, no one wants a delay especially if they can prevent it. Often payment delays are due to simple mistakes on the travel voucher. The following is a list of the top mistakes made on travel vouchers and tips to correct them before your voucher gets rejected. 1. Incorrect Itinerary Dates - Double check dates on orders and amendments. Make sure travel days are authorized on orders. If not, don't claim them in the itinerary section. 2. Copies of Orders hard to Read - If possible, save a copy of your orders directly from AROWS instead of scanning them. This will give the best digital copy. If scanned, double check the clarity by double clicking on thumbnail of document. 3. Missing Orders - Ensure that all orders (front AND back) and any amendments are attached. 4. Only stating "Home of Record" - Member must put city, state and zip code for all entries, even for your home of record. The pay technicians are not going to look up your address to verify your claims. 5. Did not annotate UTA/IDT Dates - Whenever UTA/IDT's are accomplished in conjunction with a set of orders, either at the beginning or ending, member must annotate it. (i.e. - 433 MXS, Lackland AFB, TX 78236 (In Place UTA 2-3 Oct)) If you have any questions regarding eFinance and Travel Vouchers please contact your travel pay technicians. Prevent the delay and collect your travel pay.
