CHANGE IN RATE OF REIMBURSEMENT TO CLAIMANTS FOR TRAVEL BY AUTOMOBILE

Supersedes Subject No. 150-18.1 dated December 18, 2003 In accordance with the Board resolution adopted on February 20, 1990, the mileage rate for reimbursement to claimants for travel by automobile is to be the same rate at which management/confidential state employees are reimbursed for travel by automobile. The mileage rate for reimbursement to claimants for travel by automobile on or after January 1, 2005 shall be 40.5 cents per mile. In those instances where claimants are entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses, carriers and self-insurers will allow claimants reimbursement for travel in accordance with this rate. For your information, a table of the travel reimbursement rates from 1970 to the present is below. David P. Wehner Chairman
