22. UCA does not have a PER DIEM. A TRAVELER MAY ONLY CLAIM ACTUAL EXPENDITURES UP TO THE MAXIMUM.

23. For example, on a trip to St. Louis MO the maximum allowed for meals is $49.50 (75% of $66.00) for a full day’s travel. Breakfast: You leave at 5:30 a.m. so the maximum for breakfast is $11.00, but only $10.25 is spent. Lunch: You spend $20.50 and the maximum for lunch is $22.00. Dinner: You spend $30.35 and the maximum for dinner is $33.00. Your actual total for the day was $61.10, but only $49.50 may be claimed for reimbursement since this is the first day of travel (75% of the $66.00).

24. On the return trip from Oklahoma City, OK the maximum allowed for meals is $34.50 (75% of $46.00). Breakfast: You spend $7.50 and the maximum for breakfast is $7.67. Lunch: You spend $14.50 and the maximum for lunch is $15.33. You arrive home at 5:00 p.m. Thus you spent $22.00 for meals the last day of travel. You would be reimbursed only the $22.00 of your actual expenses for meals.
