Any personnel involved in job-related travel is eligible for reimbursement per these guidelines.
1. Overnight lodging follows the U.S. General Services Administration daily rate (gsa.gov).
2. Per diem (fuel or mileage if driving a personal vehicle, food, appropriate ancillary cost) follows GSA or actual cost if not covered.
3. Submit and get Chief approval at least ten days prior so money can go out before departure; otherwise reimbursed after.
4. Use a District vehicle when one is available. If a District vehicle is available and the member chooses not to use it, no mileage. If none is available, reimburse at $0.50 per mile. Special cases (travel with non-personnel) are individual Chief calls.
5. Dated receipts with the Expense Reimbursement form.
6. Keep expenses to a minimum.
Wildland mobilization spend is the Wildland module (RO / OF-297 / expense sheet), not this per-diem policy.
