How are non-travel related vouchers processed for Expert & Non-DoD witnesses?

• A. Complete SF 1034; process directly through JAJM when they're the funding authority; process through the local finance office when funded by the CA.
• B. Travel vouchers are used for non-travel items only.
• C. Non-travel vouchers are never used for Expert & Non-DoD witnesses.
• D. The CA processes non-travel vouchers through the hospital finance office.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how payments for non-travel costs of Expert & Non-DoD witnesses are processed and funded. These vouchers use the SF 1034 form to request payment. If JAJM is the funding authority, the voucher goes directly through JAJM. If the Contracting Activity funds the expense, the voucher is routed through the local finance office for processing. This separation ensures the correct source of funds is tracked and that payments are handled through the appropriate financial channel.

Travel vouchers relate to travel expenses and aren’t the pathway described for non-travel items. Non-travel vouchers are indeed used for Expert & Non-DoD witnesses, and the hospital finance office isn’t the standard processing channel when the Contracting Activity provides the funding.
