Travel Policy Changes Effective August 22, 2022

August 09, 2022

The following changes are being made to the Travel Policy.  Please register for training sessions for complete information and guidance.

1)  Per diem rates are being updated to Federal GSA (General Services Administration) rates.  

  • Amounts can be found here by year and location:  https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates.  This link will also be available within the Chrome River application and on the AP website on August 22.
  • Day of departure and day of return will be paid at 75% of the full GSA per diem rate regardless of the time of departure and return.  
  • Single day travel will be paid at 75% of the full GSA per diem rate.  
     

2)  Hotel maximums for Indiana locations have been removed.  Any limitations on reimbursement amounts for lodging will be at the discretion of the Traveler's Department.   Reasonableness still applies.  

3)  Mileage reimbursement will follow the federal mileage rate as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.  This rate can fluctuate at least annually, but occasionally more frequently.  AP will send out a notification upon any changes to this rate.  For the remainder of 2022, the rate is $0.625 per mile.

Training sessions will be held the week of August 15 – please look for the options available through BSU Learning & Development.  All changes will be effective August 22, 2022.
