In order to comply with the JFTY/JTR TLA Regulations, we at IR Guam have taken the following regulation into effect:

Effective November 1, 2010, in compliance to the revisions made to JFTR/JTR, a traveler may not be reimbursed for the hotel booked using online booking agents unless an itemized receipt from the hotel is provided. Lost receipt statement to substitute for an online booking hotel receipt is not accepted.

The Approving Official (AO) must determine whether or not the claimed expenses are reasonable. If an expense is 1.Inflated, or 2.Higher than normal for similar services in the locality, the expenses will be disallowed.

The only acceptable lodging receipts are those issued by the Hotel and must be itemized showing specific services rendered or articles purchased, and the unit price.
