Travel Claims Process
As we continue to explore ways to leverage technology and centrally publish important pay and personnel information via electronic means across the Navy Enterprise, CNIC has created this "Travel Claim" tab to provide key forms and instructions (Direct Deposit, Temporary Lodging Expenses (TLE), Dislocation Allowance (DLA), Copy of the Travel Claim Form 1351, as well as a tutorial that provides block by block instructions on how to properly fill out the 1351 and on how to properly fill out and submit accurate travel claims prior to being sent to Travel Processing Centers for liquidation. With over 300,000 claims being processed annually in support of PCS/TDY/IA claims, a meaningful checklist is also provided and now required to accompany each travel claim sent via TOPS to their servicing Travel Processing Center. Proper utilization of this checklist will not only reduce the number of claims that are returned for a host of reasons to the warfigher, i.e., no signature by member, Approval Official signature missing, no Direct Deposit Form etc., but also it will streamline the process on the front end by communicating in detail what is needed to properly liquidate a travel claim per DOD FMR guidance, and, most especially, get travel claims processed within a 30-day period. We are committed to providing top-notch service to the warfighter.
