The Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) administers funds for travel reimbursements applicable to certain collective bargaining units. A list of participating bargaining units along with the corresponding department code needed to complete an OSC Travel Authorization is listed below.

Department Coding Per Bargaining Unit

Please note that these funds are managed by the Office of the State Comptroller, NOT the SCSU travel office. While the requirements are similar (submission of a TA, reconciliation of the TA after the trip), the forms required by the Comptroller's office are NOT the same as what is required by SCSU. The following are the specific forms required by the Comptroller's office:

• CO-112 Travel Authorization
• CO-17XP-PR Employee Payroll Reimbursement
