Lodging

Two options:

Arrangements made by Travel Services (traveler gives Travel Services credit card information for payment)
Arrangements made by Traveler to be reimbursed after travel

Traveler must keep an itemized receipt from the hotel for reimbursement after the trip. Lodging expense reimbursement is limited to the lodging establishment’s lowest available rate for normal single occupancy on the day(s) the expense was incurred. Lodging State maximum reimbursement is currently $115.50 (plus taxes) per night. Qualified conference lodging (approved DA-28) may be reimbursed at the actual conference rate—check with Travel Services to receive actual conference rate.

Meals

Meal expenses and any tips related to meals will be reimbursed via the meal per diem. Meal receipts are not required to support the claim for full- or partial-day per diem. If requesting non-state funding (KUEA;KURI) itemized receipts are required. Itemized receipts are required from the employee hosting a business group meal.

If meals are provided by a conference or host, the meal per diem for that trip will be reduced by the meals that were provided. In the event that all meals for a day are provided by a conference, a business group meal, or another source, no meal per diem can be claimed for that day.

In-state meal maximum per diem is $9.00 for breakfast, $10.00 for lunch and $19.00 for dinner.
