Travel Voucher Reclama Builder

Finance makes mistakes every single day. The regulations give you the right to challenge those mistakes. Most soldiers don't know the playbook. Now you do.

A reclama is a formal written appeal that cites the specific JTR or DoDFMR provision that supports your position. Done correctly, it forces Finance to either pay you or explain in writing exactly which regulation authorizes the denial. DOHA (Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals) recovers real money for service members every year on cases exactly like yours.

Before you start: This tool generates a template based on your inputs — not legal advice. Review the output carefully, fill in every bracketed placeholder with your actual facts, and verify that the regulatory citations apply to your specific situation. For amounts over $500 or if your chain of command is unresponsive, consider a free appointment at your installation Legal Assistance Office before submitting.
