Generally, an employee may not accept reimbursement for travel and related expenses from any source other than the
Government when she is traveling on official duty. However, 41 C.F.R. § 304-1 allows
for the Department to accept reimbursement for travel related to attendance at meetings or similar functions from
non-Federal sources. Reimbursement may not be accepted for meetings, etc. that are required to carry out the agency's
statutory or regulatory function. In order for the Department to accept reimbursement, a travel reimbursement form must be approved by an employee's ethics official and her
component head prior to travel. In most cases, an employee may not accept travel expenses for a spouse accompanying her on
official travel.
