Submitting Reimbursement for a Trip of 100 Miles or More?
SCORE reimbursement policy is that any line item on a Form 14 over $25 needs support documentation. Travel Mileage is reimbursed at $0.25 per mile, meaning any line item on an expense report for 100 miles or more needs proof.
How does one document mileage? We recommend using any online direction website showing the starting point and ending point and the mileage displayed, but even a photocopy of a physical map will do. As long as it shows total miles for your Form 14 line item. Some options include Google Maps, MapQuest, or Rand McNally. |
