Travel Expenses for Council Meetings

For AY 2007-2008, we expect to be able to reimburse each campus for two trips to SSRIC meetings.

1. Your campus will reimburse you for your travel. The CO does not directly reimburse faculty travel. Tell whoever is reimbursing your travel that they will be paid back by the CO. (A copy of a letter verifying this is available here in MS Word format.) Submit a copy of this letter with your travel expense claim. If your campus has any questions or doubts about getting paid back, ask that the questioner call Pam Estaniel at 562-951-4751 or email her at .

2. Once your campus has reimbursed you, it needs to invoice the CO to get paid back. The invoice does not need to be on any special form. On the invoice, clearly indicate that this is for travel for the Social Science Research and Instructional Council. When the campus sends in the invoice, please reference "COCSU1141" on it. That is the department at the CO that is reimbursing our travel. Send the invoice to the attention of Pamela Estaniel, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90802.

3. Pam has prepared a travel estimate form (available for downloading here in MS Word format) to help her. If at all possible, you should send her your estimates before you travel so she can provide travel approval if your campus requests it. This does not take the place of the invoice that your campus sends to the CO to get repaid.

4. We need to keep travel for workshops and travel for attending SSRIC meetings separate. On the travel estimate form, please indicate the line item to which the travel is to be charged. Indicate that this is travel for attending SSRIC meetings or travel to give a SSRIC workshop. It is also possible if appropriate to split travel expenses between these two lines for a single trip.

If you have any questions, please contact Pam and identify yourself as a member of the SSRIC.

Note re expenses: HR Letter 2006-25 revises CSU policy on travel expenses. Among other things, mileage for travel on or after January 1, 2007 has been increased to 48.5 cents per mile. Meal allowances have also been increased and are now as follows: breakfast, $10; lunch, $15; dinner, $25.

A spreadsheet showing estimated and actual travel expenditures is available to campus representatives. Log in here and look under "Travel Expenses" (second item). (If you're currently logged in, you'll need to log out and log in again.) Report any discrepancies to the Council chair.
