Travel Policy Changes - Required Documentation

• Travelers must now submit a conference agenda along with the expense report that shows what meals were provided by the conference and ensure that meal per diem was not claimed for those meals. If an agenda does not exist for the trip, please note this in the comments. If the traveler did not partake in the provided meal, please note the situation in the comments.
• Travel Exception Request Forms, including lodging exceptions, must include cost comparisons with supporting screenshots or other evidence to help facilitate the review of requested expenses, as well as detailed written information.

Travel Policy Changes - Lodging Rate

Effective April 18, 2024, the nightly lodging rate for domestic travel has increased to $333 per night, excluding taxes and fees, based on actual expenses.

Travel Policy Changes - Meals

Effective January 1, 2024, Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) per diem will be used for domestic locations instead of actuals. Please see our Training and Resources page for helpful guides.
