D.42) TRAVEL – DAC, EDA, or SDAC Project: If a Project obtains a DAC, EDA, or SDAC Waiver, the Grantee
may submit travel and per diem costs for eligible reimbursement with State funds. Travel includes the
reasonable and necessary costs of transportation, subsistence, and other associated costs incurred by
personnel during the term of this Grant Agreement. Any reimbursement for necessary travel and per
diem shall be at rates not to exceed those set by the California Department of Human Resources.
These rates may be found at: http://www.calhr.ca.gov/employees/Pages/travel-reimbursements.aspx.
Reimbursement will be at the State travel and per diem amounts that are current as of the date costs
are incurred. No travel outside the State of California shall be reimbursed unless prior written
authorization is obtained from the State. All travel approved expenses will be reimbursed at the
percentage rate of the DAC, EDA, or SDAC Waiver. For example, if the Grantee obtains a 100%
Waiver, 100% of all approved travel expenses can be invoiced for reimbursement. If the Grantee
obtains a 50% Waiver, only 50% of eligible travel expenses will be reimbursed by these grant funds.
D.43) TRAVEL – NON-DAC, EDA, or SDAC PROJECT: Grantee agrees that travel and per diem costs shall
NOT be eligible for reimbursement with State funds, unless the Grantee’s service area is considered a
DAC, EDA, or SDAC and shall NOT be eligible for computing Grantee Local Cost Share. Travel
includes the costs of transportation, subsistence, and other associated costs incurred by personnel
during the term of this Grant Agreement.
