STATE-ISSUED BANK CARDS (FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT) > Bank card controls.
Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the usage of state-issued bank cards primarily for business purposes. It states that travelers who are issued state-issued bank cards are responsible for paying all charges incurred on the card according to the credit terms of the issuing authority. Failure to pay charges on time or maintain a sufficient credit balance may result in revocation of the card. Reimbursement for state travel expenses does not include any interest charge accrued on the bank card or the transaction fee on a cash advance. The bank card must be surrendered upon request by the issuing authority, the traveler’s agency director, or the commissioner. In case of a lost or stolen bank card, it should be reported immediately to the traveler’s agency finance office and the issuing authority. Upon termination of employment, the bank card must be turned in to the traveler’s agency finance office, and any outstanding balance may be withheld from the traveler’s remaining pay warrants and other termination-related payments. The traveler’s agency is responsible for forwarding surrendered bank cards to the bureau for disposal. To request a state-issued bank card, a traveler must apply to the finance office within their agency. The application requires approval from the agency director and is then forwarded to the issuing authority. The bank card is issued to the employee with an account credit line established by the agency’s director based on the traveler’s expense needs. Cash advance privileges may also be established by the agency director.
