(a) No travel expense claim shall be paid unless submitted on a Travel Expense Claim, Standard Form 262 or some other form approved by the State Controller. All expense claims shall be itemized, accompanied by the necessary receipts and supporting documentation and approved by the authorized officer(s). It is the responsibility of the officer approving the claim to ascertain the necessity and reasonableness of incurring expenses for which reimbursement is claimed and that the expenses claimed are in compliance with these regulations.

If the amount claimable for any month does not exceed $10, the filing may be deferred until the total amount claimable exceeds $10 or until June 30, whichever occurs first. Travel expenses claimed for July 1 and beyond must be on a separate travel expense claim from those claimed for June 30 or earlier. Expense claims totaling less than $1 shall not be submitted or paid.

(c) Each officer and employee making a claim for travel expenses must show the inclusive dates of each trip for which allowances are claimed and the times of departure and return. Time of departure and return means the time the officer or employee starts from or returns to their office or, when leaving on a trip or returning from a trip without going to the office, the employee's residence.
