Please
click here to review and distribute information from Greg Griffin, State Accounting Officer, concerning the State's standard mileage reimbursement rate. This information should be shared with all travelers and travel administrators in your unit.
The
Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 50-19-7 requires the State of
Georgia to follow the General Services Administration (GSA) rates for mileage
when State employees are reimbursed for use of a privately owned vehicle while
on official travel.
Although
the IRS recently announced an increase to the standard automobile mileage rate
from 51 cents to 55.5 cents effective July 1, 2011, the GSA has chosen not
to adopt this rate at this time based on further evaluation. Therefore,
the State of Georgia’s current standard mileage reimbursement rate will remain
at 51 cents/mile until further notice.
