Adding International Travel

"International travel" means travel outside of the continental United States, including Hawaii and Alaska.

1. A rate of conversion chart (currency exchange rate) is required when claiming expenses related to international travel for the dates of travel.
2. A state agent traveling outside of the continental U.S., assigned to a foreign office, or otherwise on approved international travel status, including international conferences, shall be entitled to reimbursement of meals at actual cost when such cost is reasonable as determined by the head of the state agency (or the designee).
3. Receipts are needed for all international travel (regardless of type or amount, even meals as there is no per diem).
4. If the state agent is in overnight international travel status for more than one week, including a weekend, miscellaneous living expenses will be reimbursed.
5. Reimbursement for lodging in commercial establishments is authorized per state agent per calendar day at actual cost when such cost is reasonable as determined by the head of a state agency (or the designee).
