Effective for all travel beginning April 1^st 2022, SCORE will be implementing the following minor changes to our existing travel policy. We are updating these policies to ensure that volunteers are being appropriately compensated for their travel expenses and to remain in compliance with our Federal Award Terms and Conditions.

SCORE is increasing its personal vehicle mileage reimbursement to be the GSA privately-owned vehicle rate, currently at $.585/mile (March 31st and earlier remains at $.25/mile). The rate will be set annually by SCORE management. The Form 14 will automatically calculate this updated rate for the traveler. Please note that the difference between the IRS charity volunteer mileage rate of $0.14 and the reimbursed rate is taxable income to volunteers. SCORE is required to issue tax form 1099-NEC to a volunteer when the difference is $600 or more during a calendar year. Please see our Support Center Page on Reimbursements for additional details.

To satisfy our federal award requirements SCORE will be requiring the traveler to provide price comparisons (e.g. Kayak or Expedia screenshot) showing that they have examined at least three reasonable and comparable lodging accommodations. This documentation is required ONLY IF:

a)  The traveler is being reimbursed with federal award (restricted) funds; AND

b)  The lodging rate exceeds the posted GSA Rate

Please find additional details under the lodging section of the Form 14 - Volunteer Reimbursement Expense Report & Check Request Form – Support Center.
