Travel claims are our customers’ number one concern. It is the service member’s responsibility to ensure a travel claim with all documentation is submitted on time, correct and with all documentation. NSA Monterey has a CPPA who is required to review all documentation for completeness and accuracy and then submit them electronically to PSD Lemoore via TOPS (Transaction Online Processing System). There is a great tool that can help you prepare your travel claim. It’s called the “Smart Voucher”. Smart Voucher allows you to populate your travel claim as you travel via PCS orders, filling it out as you go. When you get to your final duty station all you have to do is print out your travel claim, sign it and give the claim and all your receipts to your CPPA, he/she will review the claim, complete the travel claim checklist and send to PSD. You can find the Smart Voucher at: https://smartdocs.dfas.mil/voucher/
