government travel; personal use of card
IS NOT allowed
®

Delinquency Management
Delinquency Timeline Overview
Account Delinquency
– GSA contract references the number of days past the
cycle date; “clock” starts ticking when the account
cycles and a statement is generated with a balance
owing
Critical Timelines/Events
– 61 Days Past Billing = Account suspension
Account reopens after posting of full past due
payment
– 75 Days Past Billing = Late Fee Assessed
$29.00
– 126 Days Past Billing = Account cancellation
(permanently closed)
Cardholder has received (6) letters, (5) statements
and numerous calls from a Citi Collections
Specialist to attempt a reasonable payment
arrangement®
DoD Travel
14
Delinquency Management
Delinquency Timeline Overview (continued)
– Approximately 126+ Days Past Billing–Account sent to DFAS for Salary Offset
processing
– 211 Days Past Billing (charge-off) = Reported to Cardholder’s Personal Credit
Bureau; and may be referred to Collection Agency or Attorney for additional
Collection efforts
Additional Account Cancellation Scenarios:
– (2) NSF checks within (12) month period
● Reinstatement: Reinstatement is not guaranteed, must meet eligibility criteria
– AOPC submits Reinstatement Application to (866) 951-8005. If application is…
Approved: $29 reinstatement fee applied on first statement; account will be reopened as a
restricted card ($4,000 credit limit)
Denied: Should wait 60 days to reapply
One reinstatement permitted in life of account

total $225

charges off

Delinquency Management
Common Causes of Delinquency
Slow/manual reimbursements by agency
– DTS “issues”
– DTS “kicking claim back without cardholder being notified”
– DTS/Cardholder errors with Split Disbursement option
Late or non-submission of travel vouchers
– “Still on travel have not yet filed”
– Waiting on final levels of approval
– Change in Duty Station (PCS) or (TDY)
NSF returned checks
Unclear on policy and/or procedures
– DoD 101–Travel Card Training is available on the GSA SmartPay website
Employee misuse
– Spending reimbursement vs. paying Travel Card
– Using card for personal use/Miscalculating Per Diem
Causes
®
DoD Travel
19
Delinquency Management
Common Causes of Delinquency (continued)
Causes
®
Cardholders believe that:
They don’t have to pay until after they are reimbursed
They don’t have to pay/file voucher until after they return from travel
They are not responsible for late fees or salary offset fees
The account will not report to personal Credit Bureaus
They can use Card for personal use–card is not a Personal credit card, it is a
Government Travel Card
Separated Military Cardholders believe that:
Balance is no longer their responsibility, especially if balance includes fees
Once discharged from the DoD that collections efforts will cease
APC/prior Command is unable to assist Citi with Cardholder information

Delinquency Management
Citi Collection Efforts–Collection Calls
Cardholder is contacted by a DoD
Collection Specialist beginning at 61
days past billing. The goal at this stage
is to resolve the delinquency
Calls will continue until payment and/or
acceptable arrangements have been
made; frequency of calls is determinate
upon call response, account balance
and follow-through on prior promise to
pay arrangements
The DoD Collection Specialist will
attempt to resolve the delinquency by
discussing available payment options,
including Reduced Payment Programs
®
DoD Travel
24
Delinquency Management
Citi Collection Efforts – Collection Calls (continued)
Upon charge-off (211 days past billing)
the account reports as a R9 charge-off
on cardholder’s personal bureau
Once account charges off, it may be
referred to a third-party collection
agency and/or legal network to pursue
more stringent collection efforts
Once Citi deems the account to be
uncollectable and/or all collection
efforts have been exhausted, Citi is
required to generate a 1099-C on all
accounts with a balance owing of
greater than $600

There are three potential Salary Offset responses from DFAS that would determine
eligibility of a member. They are as follows:
Citi Collection Efforts–Salary Offset
DFAS Salary Offset Outcomes
Enrolled
Account has been reviewed and approved by DFAS for enrollment into
Salary Offset. Enrollment fee of $80 and up to (3) Late Fees ($29 each) are
assessed (total of $167 in fees offset by DFAS).
Future
Eligible
Account has been reviewed, but currently cannot be enrolled into Salary
Offset. The account may be eligible for enrollment in the future.
Not Eligible
Account has been reviewed by DFAS and was declined. DFAS
requirements for enrollment into Salary Offset were not met. This decision
prevents the same account from being resubmitted for review in the future.
Non-enrollment fee of $85 is assessed upon return to Citi.

In January 2007, Citi released a Climate Change Position Statement, the first US financial institution to do so. As a sustainability leader in the financial sector, Citi has taken concrete steps to address this important
issue of climate change by: (a) targeting $50 billion over 10 years to address global climate change: includes significant increases in investment and financing of alternative energy, clean technology, and other carbon-
emission reduction activities; (b) committing to reduce GHG emissions of all Citi owned and leased properties around the world by 10% by 2011; (c) purchasing more than 52,000 MWh of green (carbon neutral) power
for our operations in 2006; (d) creating Sustainable Development Investments (SDI) that makes private equity investments in renewable energy and clean technologies; (e) providing lending and investing services to
clients for renewable energy development and projects; (f) producing equity research related to climate issues that helps to inform investors on risks and opportunities associated with the issue; and (g) engaging with
a broad range of stakeholders on the issue of climate change to help advance understanding and solutions.
Citi works with its clients in greenhouse gas intensive industries to evaluate emerging risks from climate change and, where appropriate, to mitigate those risks.
