which reimbursement is requested. Such requests should be forwarded by a Supervisor of the SPD to

and processing for payment.
4. Overtime reimbursement payments from the FBI will be made via electronic funds transfer
(EFT) directly to the SPD using the FBI's Unified Financial Management System (UFMS). To facilitate
EFT, the SPD must establish an account online in the System for Award Management (SAM) at
www.sam.gov. Each request for reimbursement will include an invoice number, invoice date, and a
taxpayer identification number (TIN). Verification of SPD banking information is required on an annual
basis in order to keep payment information current. For additional information regarding the UFMS and
SAM, see the attached letter from FBI Tampa's Financial Manager.

time would be compensated in the absence of this Agreement. However, said reimbursement, per
officer, shall not exceed monthly and/or annual limits established annually by the FBI. The limits,
calculated using Federal pay tables, will be in effect for the Federal fiscal year running from October 1 st
of one year through September 30th of the following year, unless changed during the period. The FBI
reserves the right to change the reimbursement limits, upward or downward, for subsequent periods
based on fiscal priorities and appropriations limits. The FBI will notify the SPD of the applicable annual
limits prior to October 1 st of each year.

compensation rate, number of reimbursable hours claimed, and the dates of those hours for each
officer for whom reimbursement is sought. The request must be accompanied by a certification and

information described in this paragraph is accurate, and the personnel for whom reimbursement is
claimed were assigned full-time to the CETF.
