Travel vouchers submitted by employees must be submitted within what window for informal and formal submissions to the Chief Patrol Agent?

• A. Informal within 15 calendar days, formal within 30 calendar days
• B. Informal within 60 calendar days, formal within 30 calendar days
• C. Informal within 30 calendar days, formal within 15 calendar days to the Chief Patrol Agent
• D. Informal within 45 calendar days, formal within 45 calendar days

Answer: (C)

The key idea is understanding the two submission pathways for travel vouchers and the time limits that apply to each. Informal submissions are allowed a 30-calendar-day window, which gives staff a reasonable, flexible period to complete the voucher with standard supervisor review and reimbursement processes. Formal submissions, which go to the Chief Patrol Agent, have a shorter 15-calendar-day deadline to ensure these higher‑level, more thorough reviews are conducted promptly and to keep oversight and auditing timelines on track. The other options don’t fit because they stretch or misalign these review paths and the required processing flow. So, travel vouchers should be informal within 30 calendar days and formal within 15 calendar days to the Chief Patrol Agent.
