Meal Reimbursement Reminder
UNL will only reimburse travelers for actual meal expenses accrued during the trip. Meal expenses incurred where the employee resides or in their primary work location are not reimbursable. Nebraska statutes state that "...only actual employee expenses are to be reimbursed." Therefore claiming per diem rates is not allowed.
Effective Immediately - Food Receipt Requirements and 60 Day Deadline
On May 26, 2009, Nebraska legislation (LB 533) went into effect that requires additional supporting documentation for employee expense reimbursements. Effective immediately, detailed receipts are now required for all food/meal expenses equal to or greater than $5. In addition, expense reimbursement requests must be submitted no later than 60 days after the final day on which expenses were incurred. Each request must be fully itemized, including the amount, date, place, and essential character of the expense incurred. This change applies to all employees.
