Hi, Everyone!
I am a little confused as to when we should include a 1-Day Meal Reimbursement when completing an expense report. What is the proper procedure when it comes to this because I feel like I’ve been told different things by the same people.

Thank you!
Erika

PS – This site is awesome!

Hi Erika! The 1-day taxable meal reimbursement box should be checked on the header page when there is no overnight stay.

If you need further clarification, please email ddarfinance@psu.edu and someone from the DDAR Finance Office will get back to you.

Thanks! Jill

Erica,

This expense type would be used when a meeting includes a meal where each participant pays for a portion of the meal expense or pays the entire cost of their own meal in one of the following scenarios:
EXAMPLE 1: An employee travels from Harrisburg to UP for a meeting. Meeting participants decide to work through lunch and have food delivered to them. The employee pays $6.00 toward lunch — the $6.00 would be a Non-Taxable 1-Day Meal expense. EXAMPLE 2: An employee travels to UP for a meeting. After the meeting, traveler and another participant go to lunch to review the topics discussed at the meeting, each paying for their own meal.
When a Non-Taxable 1-Day Meal is claimed, the request must follow the same rules as a Group Meal (attendees required) expense.

I hope this helps.
Thanks- Tammy

Thanks, Ladies. This DOES help.
I apologize for the late response. I thought I would have been notified via email of your responses.
