Top Errors on Military PCS Travel Vouchers

Incomplete or inaccurate vouchers delay or prevent payment. Avoid these common errors:

1. Inaccurate / incomplete administrative information on DD 1351-2 (Blocks 1-14).
2. Missing orders (attachments, endorsements, amendments, etc.)
3. Incomplete itinerary on DD 1351-2 (Block 15)
4. Missing traveler’s official signature & date (Block 20 a-b)
5. Missing Reviewer/Approving official signature & dates (Block 20 c-d)
6. Incomplete type of payment (Block 5)
7. Missing the amount of advances received (Block 9)

If your PCS voucher was not fully paid due to an error or omission, you can submit a supplemental travel voucher.
