Which agency has final resolution authority for questionable travel claims referred to PDTATAC?

• A. GAO
• B. DoD Office of the General Counsel
• C. DFAS
• D. OSD

Answer: (B)

The final resolution on questionable travel claims referred to PDTATAC is provided by the DoD Office of the General Counsel. PDTATAC handles reviews of travel claims that raise legal or regulatory questions, and when a determination requires authoritative legal interpretation, it is escalated to the OGC for a binding ruling that applies across the Department. This ensures consistent application of travel regulations and policy. Other entities have distinct roles: GAO conducts external audits, DFAS manages payments and financial processing, and OSD develops policy but does not render the final adjudicative decision on individual travel claims.
