Travel and Government Branch

The Travel and Government Branch processes grants, travel, transportation, employee reimbursement, IPACs and intra-governmental documents for payment for NOAA and BIS offices located in the Washington D.C. metropolitan Area.  This includes travel advances and vouchers, permanent change of station payments and the centrally billed travel accounts for most of NOAA.  The Branch also processes transactions related to gifts from donors who pay for official government travel.  The Branch is responsible for compliance with the Prompt Payment Act, partial payments, interest payments, voucher examination, voucher auditing, accounting functions (accruals, deobligations), and other related requirements.  It utilizes the appropriate modules of the Core Financial System (CFS) in the processing of the financial documents.  The Branch sends Form W-2s to serviced employees who receive taxable income from a permanent change of station.
