DOGE puts $ 1 $ 1 spending on credit cards

New spending restrictions apply to both smartpay travel and purchasing cards. Travel cards are widely used throughout the government (eg, most army lorists have these cards). The government is watching travel expenses such as hotels and airlines through software tools like CONCUR. The GSA requires receipts for the purchase for the purchase of employees to make more than $ 75. “The system is a pain in the donkey and requires a supervisor’s authorization before any money is spent,” the current GSA employee.

Purchase cards are more rare and used for business expenses below $ 10,000; Something above this amount requires an official state contract. Used between office supplies, IT equipment and exercises and other things. Employees need to provide a form if they want to spend money on the purchase card, then you need to be confirmed by a controller and sign. When this time, the form is presented for approval to confirm, the name of the person who wants to shop, descriptions of the item, appreciated price, accounting code and the date and history of goods or services.

A purchase request number has been assigned after payment is confirmed. Only then will the worker can actually spend money. If they spend 10 percent more than the approved amount, you need to confirm in writing. In GSA, it is followed through a program called Pegasys, which requires a separate form to make every purchase. Pegasys have two sides: The purchase side showing the money spent and the peace. The cardholder must match these two sides, cents, the required number.
