How are vouchers processed for Military & DoD member witnesses?

• A. The voucher is created in DTS by the member themselves; the proper approval authority will process the payment.
• B. The paralegal creates the voucher in DTS; the payment is processed by the finance office.
• C. The voucher is created by the member in DTS and paid directly by the witness.
• D. The voucher is created by the CA and processed manually.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that witness reimbursements flow through the member’s own action in the Disbursement/Travel System (DTS) and are paid through the proper approving authority and finance channels. The member creates the voucher in DTS, attaching itemized costs and receipts, and then the designated approving official reviews and approves it. Once approved, the finance office processes and issues the payment. This setup ensures the member is accountable for their expenses and that payments go through the formal financial system with the proper oversight. Vouchers aren’t created by a paralegal, paid directly by the witness, or processed manually by the CA.
