Travel advances for evacuees

Evacuees that do not have a Government Travel Card (GTCC), may request an advance which will provide up to 80% of the estimated entitlements for the lesser of the 1) anticipated evacuation period or 2) 30 days. This payment will be deducted from your first travel claim reimbursement.

Be sure to provide the bank account information (routing and account number), safe haven location, and dependent’s names and dates of birth or date of marriage.
