We will walk through each column to assist you getting your reimbursement smoothly.

The first item is whether or not your used a state car. If you did you will not be claiming mileage. If you used your own vehicle you will need to document that no state car was available to receive premium mileage. You may not receive reimbursement for using your personal vehicle if your local office has a policy of using state vehicles first. Check with your manager regarding this.

This example shows one week stay at a hotel for training. Notice each date is listed, but the Depart and Return columns show one entry for the week. Each date is listed for you to enter meals and other expenses incurred while in training.

Some training that is more than one day, will have a hotel selected for the trainees to stay. You will receive a letter stating which hotel is to be used for that specific training.

If you need to stay over night for training and you need to make your own hotel arraignments; you will only be reimbursed up to the state rate.
