Meals Provided-Deductions
by Olinger, Jennifer L 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hello Again- There has been some confusion as to how to now deduct meals from your per diem as there is no formula to calculate it for you in the spreadsheet. Hopefully this will help. The meals provided must still be entered, but will no longer automatically calculate in the last row/day of the trip. Therefore deductions for meals provided must be entered manually. Since the meal deductions are no longer based upon a percentage but a flat rate based upon the meal provided and subsistence rate, there is no longer a formula which can accommodate the calculation. Please see chart with link below: Meals and Incidental Expenses ( M&IE) Breakdown The following table is provided for federal employees who need to deduct provided meals from their daily meals and incidental expense (M&IE) allowance. Refer to Section 301-11.18 of the Federal Travel Regulation<http://www.gsa.gov/portal/ext/public/site/FTR/file/Chapter301p011.html/cate…> for specific guidance on deducting these amounts from your per diem reimbursement claims for meals furnished to you by the government. Other organizations may have different rules that apply for their employees; please check with your organization for more assistance. The table lists the six M&IE tiers in the lower 48 continental United States (currently ranging from $46 to $71). If you need to deduct a meal amount, first determine the location where you will be working while on official travel. You can look up the location-specific information at www.gsa.gov/perdiem<http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem>. The M&IE rate for your location will be one of the six tiers listed on this table. Find the corresponding amount on the first line of the table (M&IE Total) and then look below for each specific meal deduction amount. The table also lists the portion of the M&IE rate that is provided for incidental expenses (currently $5 for all tiers), as well as the amount federal employees receive for the first and last calendar day or travel. The first and last calendar day of travel is calculated at 75 percent. M&IE Total $46 $51 $56 $61 $66 $71 Continental Breakfast/ Breakfast $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 Lunch $11 $12 $13 $15 $16 $18 Dinner $23 $26 $29 $31 $34 $36 Incidentals $5 $5 $5 $5 $5 $5 First & Last Day of Travel $34.50 $38.25 $42 $45.75 $49.50 $53.25 http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101518 With Kind Regards- Jenny Olinger Account Clerk IV Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering Forney Hall Room #G041 West Lafayette, IN 47907 765-496-1094 (Direct Line) 765-494-4073 (Fax) jolinger(a)purdue.edu [cid:image001.jpg@01CD7938.D7556600]

Updated Changes to the Form 25
by Olinger, Jennifer L 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Good Morning ChE! Happy Monday! Below is an email reminding us of the changes that took place July 1, regarding per diem and how it's calculated. I have also included a link to the new updated Form 25. Please use this form for all future reimbursement requests and as always if you have any questions, I'm always here to help. Have a great week! :) www.purdue.edu/travel/xls/form25current.xls<http://www.purdue.edu/travel/xls/form25current.xls> Cheers- Jenny Olinger Account Clerk IV Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering 765-496-1094 (Direct Line) 765-494-4073 (Fax) jolinger(a)purdue.edu WE ARE PURDUE. WHAT WE MAKE MOVES THE WORLD FORWARD From: putrav-l-bounces(a)lists.purdue.edu [mailto:putrav-l-bounces@lists.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Purdue Univ. Travel Clerks and Travel Issues Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2012 7:15 PM To: 'Purdue Univ. travel clerks and travel issues' Subject: Form 25-Updated As you all know, our per diem rules changed for travel on or after July 1, 2012. Meals are no longer reduced by percentages and partial days (75% of full per diem rate) are always on the beginning and ending days of the trip. This change was made to bring us more in line with the federal policies/procedures. The Form 25 has been updated to reflect these changes. The full amount of per diem must be entered on the first cell of the first row under per diem and the 75% will automatically be calculated in the first cell of the per diem column. The other cells in the first 2 columns under per diem have been blacked out. Manually enter the full rate in the following rows for days of University business and 75% of the full rate for the final day of University business in the last cell. The meals provided must still be entered, but will no longer automatically calculate in the last row/day of the trip. Therefore deductions for meals provided must be entered manually. Review the new changes at http://www.purdue.edu/business/travel/Subsistence/subsist2.html and http://www.purdue.edu/business/travel/Subsistence/subsistmealsdeduction.html.
