If for some reason this is not possible, or in the best interest of the govern- ment, the traveler must obtain a “certificate of non-availabiliy.” No certificate, no reimburse- ment. The certificate must be at- tached to the per diem voucher. In some cases lacking certifi- cates can be obtained, but cor- respondence results in delay in reimbursement, the Finance Of- fice said.
