Who can the NDEA digitally sign requests and claims for in the DTS?

The NDEA, or the Non-Dual Employment Agreement, is positioned to allow specific individuals to act on behalf of the agency in travel-related matters within the Defense Travel System. The process of digitally signing requests and claims is essential for validating and authorizing travel expenditures. In this context, the traveler can digitally sign their own requests and claims on behalf of the agency, thereby facilitating the approval process and ensuring that claims are processed efficiently.

This capability is aligned with the requirements of the DTS, which emphasizes accountability while streamlining the travel request process. The role of the traveler includes ensuring that all claims submitted are accurate and reflect actual travel performed, thereby reinforcing the integrity of the travel management system.
