New HHS Travel Policy Effective January 20, 2012

In support of the Executive Order on Promoting Efficient Spending (EO 13589) The Department of Health and Human Services, with representatives from each Operating Division, has developed a revised policy on the use of appropriated funds for federal travel and relocation costs. This revised policy promotes the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) commitment to act in a fiscally responsible manner by minimizing the administrative costs to perform our missing critical functions in the most efficient and cost effective way.

The 2012 HHS Travel Manual includes the following updates from the previous Travel Manual:

• A new chapter for travel during a Disaster Response
• A new chapter for Relocation entitlements
• An updated Travel Charge Card policy in chapter 10
• Clarification on the responsibilities for all roles in the travel process
• Revised policy on acceptance of payment from a non-Federal Source

The new policy, along with the signed memorandum by The Assistant Secretary for Administration E.J. Holland, Jr. announcing its release, is available here.
