20 CFR 617.46 - Travel allowance.
- Section Number: 617.46
- Section Name: Travel allowance.
(a) Computation. The amount of travel allowance (including lodging
and meals) payable under Sec. 617.45(a)(1) shall be 90 percent of the
total costs of each of the following allowable transportation and
subsistence items:
(1) Transportation. The more cost effective mode of transportation
reasonably available shall be approved by using:
(i) The actual cost of transportation for the individual and family,
if any, by the most economical public transportation the individual and
family reasonably can be expected to take from the individual's old
residence to the individual's new residence in the area of relocation;
or
(ii) The cost per mile at the prevailing mileage rate authorized
under the Federal travel regulations (see 41 CFR part 101-7) for the
usually traveled route from the individual's old residence to the
individual's new residence in the area of relocation. No additional
mileage shall be payable for family members traveling on the same trip
in the same vehicle.
(2) Lodging and meals. The cost allowable for lodging and meals for
an individual or each member of the individual's family shall not exceed
the lesser of:
(i) The actual cost to the individual for lodging and meals while in
travel status; or
(ii) 50 percent of the prevailing per diem allowance rate authorized
under the Federal travel regulations (see 41 CFR part 101-7) for the
locality to which the relocation is made.
(b) Separate travel. If, for good cause, a member or members of an
individual's family must travel separately to the individual's new
residence, 90 percent of the total costs of such separate travel,
computed in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section, shall be
included in calculating the total amount the individual is entitled to
be paid under this subpart E. For purposes of this paragraph (b), good
cause means such reasons as would justify the family member's inability
to relocate with the other members of the individual's family, including
but not limited to reasons related to the family member's health,
schooling or economic circumstances.
(c) Limitation. In no case may the individual be paid a travel
allowance for the individual or a member of the individual's family more
than once in connection with a single relocation.
