NOTE: If you are claiming reimbursement to be paid back to a government agency such as a county, instead of you, then taxes will not be reimbursed and the maximum reimbursable rate is $96.30.
- DO NOT use a third-party hotel reservation system (hotels.com, expedia.com, trivago.com, etc.) if you’ll be requesting lodging reimbursement:
- You will most likely not get the state rate.
- You will most likely not get an itemized (shows rate, taxes, and other fees) zero-balance hotel receipt which is required for reimbursement.
- You will most likely get a composite receipt for the total amount and the hotel itself will not be able to give you one either.
MEALS:
Meals are not provided. In-state reimbursement rates are:
- Breakfast – $9.00.
- Lunch – $14.00.
- Dinner – $22.00.
REIMBURSEMENT:
As of October 1, 2023, the GSA rate for lodging in ND is $107, therefore the maximum amount that can be claimed is $96.30 plus applicable taxes ($107 x 90% = $96.30).
NDDES will reimburse lodging and per-diem at state rates for participants who:
- Are employees of state, local or tribal government/jurisdictions, and;
- Are First Responders or work in Emergency Management, and;
- Live or work in North Dakota, and;
- Live more than 50 miles from the training/event location.
You will need:
- A current Substitute IRS Form W-9 and a N.D. Non-Employee Travel Reimbursement Form; both will be made available during your class.
- An itemized hotel receipt (shows rate, taxes, and other fees). This is not a credit card receipt but is given to you by the hotel during checkout. It must break out each day’s charges and indicate that the balance is $0.
