B. Reimbursements for Travel Expenses Only

If the only expenses for which the non-employee is to be reimbursed are travel expenses, the department should process a Request for Travel Authorization (RTA) with the non-employee traveler type. Refer to Part 11.2 for information about travel authorization.

D. Reimbursements to Ten or More Non-Employees

If ten or more non-employees are to be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred to attend a single event and will not be paid for services or receive a stipend or honorarium, a Blanket Authorization of Professional Services (APS) may be prepared in lieu of preparing a Request for Travel Authorization (RTA) for each traveler. A list of participants' names must be submitted with the Blanket APS so that hotel and airfare expenses can be direct-billed.
