Meal Reimbursement

To compute the subsistence allowance for meals, divide the day into four periods as follows:

     Period 1     12:01 am     to     6:00 am

     Period 2        6:01 am     to    12:00 pm (noon)

     Period 3     12:01 pm     to      6:00 pm

     Period 4        6:01 pm     to     12:00 am (midnight).

You must be at least one quarter (or 2 hours) into the per diem period to qualify for subsistence allowance for that period. 

    Examples:

       You leave at 10 am - you qualify for Period 2 subsistence allowance.

       You leave at 10:30 am - you do not qualify for Period 2 subsistence allowance.  (you are only 1 ½ hour into the per diem period)

      You return at 8 pm - you qualify for Period 4 subsistence allowance.

      You return at 7:30 pm - you do not qualify for Period 4 subsistence allowance.  (you are only 1 ½ hours into the per diem period)

Same Day Travel

For travel that begins and ends in the same calendar day, the following rules apply:

Travel between 6 am and 8 pm

No subsistence allowance will be paid for travel between the hours of 6 am and 8 pm.  The 6 am and 8 pm limitations are based on normal working hours.  There is no subsistence for lunch.

Travel begins before 6 am and ends after 10 am

If travel begins before 6 am and ends after 10 am, the traveler may claim reimbursement for the breakfast meal in the amount of $6.50.

Travel begins before 5 pm and ends after 8 pm

If travel begins before 5 pm and ends after 8 pm, the traveler may claim reimbursement for the evening meal in the amount of $13.00.

When meals are furnished at no cost

If meals are included in registration fees or otherwise furnished to the traveler while on university business by a:  (1) governmental agency, (2) private organization, (3) school, or (4) conference, then the subsistence allowance for the meals shall be reduced as follows:  Breakfast $6.50, Lunch $6.50, Dinner, $12.00.

The foregoing does not apply when the registration fee for a one-day conference (no overnight travel) includes the cost of meals.
