SUMMARY: FY 2003 Meal Allowance and Lodging Rates

Out-of-state, special designated high-cost geographic areas $ 9.50 per quarter-day
International travel $10.50 per quarter-day or actual expenses not to exceed $76 per day


 

Reduced Meals Allowance:
If the cost of meals is included within the cost of registration fees or other fees and charges paid by the agency or supplied without cost by another party, the meals allowance should be reduced as follows:

Same Day Meals Allowance:

The rates as established in accordance with K.A.R. 1-16-18(c)(3) are the same as indicated in the table above for reduced meals allowance.

In-state $55.00
In-state, designated high-cost geographic area $69.00

Conference lodging qualified under K.A.R. 1-16-18a(e) Actual

K.S.A. 75-3207a(f) provides that the daily lodging expense limitations established above may be exceeded by the lesser of either: (1) an additional 50% of the applicable lodging expense limitation, or (2) the actual lodging expense incurred.

These lodging limits continue to be applied to the lodging rate before taxes. Thus, the amount reimbursed or paid for lodging expenses may exceed the established lodging limitation by as much as the amount of associated taxes.
