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.
