DoD has a new Split Disbursement payment option for travelers using DoD’s American Express card program (AMEX). Split Disbursement allows payments to be sent directly to AMEX. Travelers may elect Split Disbursement to send AMEX a designated part of the travel reimbursement and the balance to the traveler’s account at their financial institution. The traveler must have EFT established to use Split Disbursement.
To elect the Split Disbursement payment option:
1. Make sure an EFT relationship has been established with your designated financial institution. Prepare a
Direct Deposit Sign-up Form, SF1199a and forward to DNO.
2. Determine the travel reimbursement portion to be sent to AMEX and enter the amount on the travel voucher : (Block 1, on the Aug 97 version of DD Form 1351-2 or block 3C on all older version s of DD Form 1351-2.)
Example: Traveler is due $725 in official travel reimbursement and elects to send AMEX a Split Disbursement to pay the $600 charged on the traveler’s AMEX card for hotels, meals, and rental car expenses. Enter SPLIT $600 in the appropriate block on the travel voucher. The remaining $125 will be sent via EFT to the traveler’s account at their financial institution.
3. If your financial institution is unable to process your EFT, a check for the non-AMEX reimbursement will be sent to your home address. AMEX will receive their designated Split Disbursement.
