The Split Disbursement mandate, established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), requires federal agencies to make payments directly from the employee's travel card account to the travel card vendor for authorized travel expenses. This ensures timely payment to the vendor and helps prevent fraudulent activities.
The regulation that requires split disbursement to the travel card vendor is the Department of Defense (DoD) Financial Management Regulation (FMR) 7000.14-R. This regulation mandates that agency travel cardholders must ensure that their travel card payments are made directly to the travel card vendor, thereby separating the payment from other reimbursements. This helps in managing and reducing the government’s travel card debt and enhances accountability.
Split disbursement for government travel cards requires that a portion of the traveler's reimbursement be directly paid to the travel card vendor to cover expenses incurred during official travel. This process ensures that the government can effectively manage and mitigate the risk of unpaid travel card balances, while also promoting responsible spending by travelers. Typically, this applies to both lodging and travel-related expenses charged on the card, allowing for streamlined payments and improved financial accountability.
