# 301-30.4 Limitations on emergency travel expense payment.

Expenses are not payable when:

(a) The employee is confined to a medical facility within the proximity of their official station or the same medical facility they would have been admitted to if the incapacitating illness or injury had occurred at their official station.

(b) The Government provides or reimburses the employee for hospitalization under any Federal statute, including hospitalization in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical center or military hospital. However, per diem expenses remain payable if the employee's hospitalization is covered under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (5 U.S.C. 8901 *et seq.*).

(c) If any of these expenses are paid to the employee by mistake, they must be collected from the employee by the agency.
