Reimbursement of child care expenses for family members of military personnel attending command-sponsored family orientation may be funded from locally available NAFs. Those using the CDC will sign for services rendered at the CDC on their agency specific sign-in sheet. Copies of sign-in sheets are sent to the user agency, at a minimum on a monthly basis, for reconciliation. Activities using interactivity expense transfer will ensure that funds are available to cover child care expenses. To verify hours eligible for reimbursement, volunteers are given a voucher to present to the CDC when their child is picked up.
Child care over and above the time indicated on the voucher is the responsibility of the volunteer.
To prevent abuse, sponsoring organizations will review sign-in sheets and follow up on discrepancies. Funding is authorized for volunteer travel for training to improve effectiveness in assigned roles or to enable volunteers to accept increasingly responsible challenges. Funding is authorized for volunteer travel for training, to include enrollment expenses, travel, and per diem, held at another site, if it is determined that the supported organization would benefit from the off-site training. Volunteers may receive an advance of travel and transportation allowance upon presentation of an approved invitational travel request. Appropriate controls are established to ensure that submission of settlement travel vouchers and collection of any outstanding amounts are expedited.
