FY2010 Travel Reimbursement Rates

For Budgetary purposes, individual Lamar University departments may set their own maximum rates as long as they do not exceed the GSA rates.

Meal reimbursements are only allowed on overnight travel.
The meal percentage rates for all travel will be calculated as follows:

  • Breakfast
    20%

  • Lunch
    30%

  • Dinner
    50%

The mileage rate for Fiscal Year 2010 is .55 cents per mile.

Baggage charges that are related to state business are reimbursable. It is assumed that the first checked bag is necessary to complete business travel.

PLEASE NOTE: Charges for excessive baggage may be reimbursed as long as the travel is related to state business (e.g. state-owned equipment).

All travel forms should now show the employees' Banner identification number instead of social security numbers. This is the "L" number located on F3.6 forms.
