How do I use the "Lodging/Food" section of the Pre-Approval?
- Julia Persell
- William Schneider
Lodging/Food drop down options include:
Lodging
Per Diem Meals
Non Per Diem Meals
Other
Use these options to estimate expenses related to lodging and food for which you will request reimbursement. You may use multiple rows to enter detailed expenses, or use a single row per category to estimate expenses at a high level.
Delete unwanted rows by selecting the “x” to the left of the row. You will be prompted to confirm before the delete action occurs.
Per Diem
Qualified Per Diem meals do not require a receipt for reimbursement purposes. Use this section to estimate the cost for per diem meals during travel.
Default per diem rates are displayed at the top of the screen. To select a domestic high cost city with different per diem rates, use the drop-down list.
Consult the UMBC travel policy for information related to international travel per diem rates.
