Duplicate Claim of Meal Expenses

Meal reimbursements are calculated by the Travel System based on the subsistence allowance rates for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; travel dates; and times of departure and arrival. Travelers must exclude from the Travel Center calculated meals any meals provided and included in payment already made (i.e., conference registration fee, hotel rate, airfare, external entity, etc.). Travelers must certify on their travel reimbursement that the appropriate meals have been excluded.

The University is subject to the provisions of the State Executive Budget Act and the accompanying Budget Manual published by the Office of State Budget and Management. Section 1.1.11 of the Travel Manual describes the penalties for filing false travel claims.
