capture and process invoice, acceptance and payments-related 
documentation and data to support the DoD asset visibility, tracking 
and payment processes. WAWF also provides the department with a single 
point of entry to generate, capture and process vouchers for 
miscellaneous payment claims. Information in identifiable form must be 
collected to verify the identity and banking information of claimants 
in order to ensure that benefits are paid to the correct individual. 
WAWF is not a forms based application but it accepts any supporting 
documentation as attachments, including the following forms in PDF 
format: DD1375 Request for Payment of Funeral and/or Internment 
Expenses (0704-0030); SF182 Authorization, Agreement and Certification 
of Training; SF270 Request for Advance or Reimbursement (0348-0004);

Expenses. The complete list of miscellaneous payment categories 
processed through WAWF is available in appendix A of the DoD Guidebook 
for Miscellaneous Payments.
