reimbursement pROGRAM

A daily accounting of expenses shall be completed by each CIRT member attending the training.

Reimbursement for expenses incurred will be considered after verified attendance and a successful completion of the training week.  To be eligible for reimbursement, a Non-DOJ Employee Reimbursement Form must be completed and sent to OSS.  Requests for reimbursements must include all supporting documentation. 

MILEAGE:

Mileage is calculated from home or headquarter city, whichever is shorter, to the training site and return to home or headquarter city, whichever is shorter.  Mileage reimbursement from the lodging site (if applicable) to the training site is also allowable during the training week.   

  • 51¢ per mile

MEALS:

CIRT members attending the training are eligible for meal expenses. Meal rates are listed as the maximum amount allowable and are not per diem rates:

  • Breakfast - $9.00, Lunch - $11.00, Dinner - $21.00.  

Meal expenses will be reimbursed under the following conditions:

  • Breakfast – Must leave home/work at or before 6:00am on the first day of training.  Eligible for breakfast on all other days of training if traveling applies.
  • Lunch – Must attend an entire training day.  
  • Dinner – Must leave directly from training and return home after 7:00pm if traveling for training applies.

LODGING:

Lodging 50 Mile Rule: The state guidance is that being 50 miles or more from your home or headquarter city, whichever is shorter, would qualify you for lodging at state rate lodging expenses.  You must attach a lodging receipt/folio to your non-DOJ employee reimbursement form—credit card slips are not acceptable. The maximum lodging rates detailed in this provision are intended to be inclusive of all fees (e.g., resort fee, wi-fi fee, communication fee).

In-State Lodging: The maximum permitted amount per day, excluding tax, for lodging for all in-state travel in counties other than Milwaukee, Racine, and Waukesha shall be $90.  The maximum permitted amount for Milwaukee, Racine, and Waukesha counties shall be $95.

Airbnb, VRBO’s, and the like are prohibited.
