A-1.2 Reimbursement for Postal
Service Supervisors
[Revise A-1.2 to read as follows:]
Postal Service supervisors (see
5-5.2.1.2) will be reimbursed at the rate of $6.00 per day or 48.5 cents
per mile, whichever is greater, when a privately owned vehicle is used.
Do not use the eTravel system when claiming the $6.00 daily rate, because
the excess of the daily rate over the actual mileage is taxable as compensation
to the claimant. You should claim the $6.00 daily rate by submitting PS
Form 1164-A, Claim for Reimbursement for Postal Supervisors,
to the Scanning and Imaging Center.
Odometer readings are not required
on the respective claim forms; the integrity of the claim is the responsibility
of the traveler. However, should the approving official have reason to
question the claim, the claimant must provide evidence that supports the
claim of distance traveled.
