SUBJ: USE OF THE GOVERNMENT TRAVEL CHARGE CARD (GTCC) FOR NON-COAST
GUARD FUNDED OFFICAL GOVERNMENT TRAVEL
A. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Financial Management Policy
Manual
B. Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) Program Policies and
Procedures, COMDTINST M4600.18 (SERIES)
1. Based on a recent DHS change in the interpretation of Ref (A),
cardholders may now use their GTCC for non-Coast Guard funded
official government travel (travel funded by other federal entities
such as DOD).
2. Do not request split disbursements (funds paid directly to your
GTCC account) when filing non-Coast Guard funded official government
travel claims with other agencies, as this will result in payment
delays. In many cases, non-DHS federal agencies hold GTCC contracts
with different banks.
3. As a reminder, your GTCC bills must be paid in full on or before
the statement due date regardless of time of reimbursement.
4. This change will be incorporated into a future update of Ref (B).
5. All questions should be directed as follows:
A. Cardholders: direct GTCC questions to their unit GTCC Travel
Manager. Supporting Travel Managers are listed under the contacts
page located at www.uscg.mil/psc/bops/govtrvl/.
B. GTCC Travel Managers: direct questions to Ms. Carlene Curry
at 703-872-6398 or Evelyn.C.Curry(at)uscg.mil or Mr. Matt Ruckert at
703-872-6404 or Matthew.T.Ruckert(at)uscg.mil.
6. RDML Dave Callahan, Commander, CG Personnel Service Center, sends.
