in District 5sr travel orders have a statement that mileage is reimbursed at dated fuel receipts only.

Does anyone know why we are reimbursed fuel only not mileage like the active duty.

Is this policy District by District.

Thanks

What type of travel are you talking about? Is it for trailering a facility or travel off of a TONO order?

This is travel orders to teach at a District Training weekend. 360 miles round trip, getting paid for gas only.

One day? Brutal. I would think that they should at least get you a room. We also get paid mileage here not gas.

It was two days and included a room overnight. I drive Prius and get 50 miles a gallon. Gas bill was 20.93 for the trip that comes to $0.06 per mile. Not a real cost since the car cost more and some maintenance is a lot more. I spend more for those to save money on gas. Not going to claim gas bill and save the mileage for my income tax will get more that way.

Does not seem right that orders say use POV and not include wear and tear on the vehicle.

The mileage reimbursement under orders is 0.485 per mile (if I recall correctly). Not sure why they specified "receipted fuel".

Active Duty gets that rate for mileage. An Active Duty member and I taught a class I get 20.93 she got over $200.


Does any one know how many Districts have this rule for travel?

Only the ones that stock K-Y in their district stores.

For what it is worth, Chapter 9 of the AUXMAN discusses reimbursement (says mileage) I don't think your district is correct. You should ask your FC to follow up on this.

I've seen some orders that only reimburse certain things before and only with itemized receipts as well.
