Travel Reimbursement for Rise Case Management Training

TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT FOR RISE CASE MANAGEMENT TRAINING In Sea Tac – May 1-2, 2017

Travel to and from the training: The current federal mileage rate is $.535 per mile for privately owned vehicle. Round trip mileage will be reimbursed, calculated from the contractor’s official place of business, to Bellingham, Washington. The maximum mileage reimbursement will be based on the contractor’s official business address even if the contract staff travels from a further location. State motor pool cost and rental car reimbursements will be allowed as long as they do not exceed the mileage reimbursement amount.

Due to the location of the training, DSHS will permit reimbursement for air or train travel from western WA contractors, in lieu of vehicle mileage. The maximum reimbursement will be limited to 150% of what the round trip vehicle mileage would have cost. This will include any additional costs, such as taxis, parking at the airport or train station or rental car costs.
