When members take leave en route with permanent change of station or TDY travel, what does the financial service office use to determine authorized travel and chargeable leave?

• A. A Travel Voucher
• B. A Travel Order
• C. A Per Diem Form
• D. A Leave Request

Answer: (A)

The travel voucher is the official record used to determine both what travel is authorized and how much leave, if any, is chargeable when a member takes leave en route during PCS or TDY travel. It captures the actual travel dates, entitlements (like per diem and transportation), and any days of leave taken, and the financial service office uses that document to reconcile travel approvals with pay and leave accounting. Travel orders authorize the movement in advance, but the voucher confirms the specifics after travel and determines the resulting entitlements and chargeable leave. Leave requests and per diem forms serve different functions and do not establish the accounting for travel and leave.
