“Effective June 10, 2009, the individually billed travel charge card (GTCC) can be used for relocation expenses,” John Argodale, deputy assistant Secretary of the Army, Financial Operations, said.
Charges for transportation, lodging, meals, Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense (TQSE), and house-hunting approved expenses are authorized. Participants, whose account is open and current at time of registration at their organization’s Agency Program Coordinator, can obtain travel advances using their GTCC in the form of ATM, cash, and manual cash disbursements.
In addition, the credit limit can be increased and cardholders can enjoy a longer bill-pay period.
The new temporary credit limit will activate on the PCS status start date and return to the assigned credit limit on the PCS end date.
The program is expected to increase the rebates to the government and reduce travelers’ dependency on their personal funds. The GTCC balance must be paid by the PCS end date, plus 30 days.
Excluded are accession- and separation-types of PCS.
