Meal Expenses
A receipt for a meal expense is not required to be included in the supporting documentation for reimbursement. However, a state agency may require a state employee to submit a meal receipt to the agency for internal purposes.
It is possible for two sets of rates to apply to a single trip. If employees are traveling when the rates change, they must use the rates in effect on each specific day of travel.
