DHS&EM Invitational Travel Request Form Instructions

After receiving your completed travel request form, DHS&EM will begin internal approval for your travel. If you need confirmation of the receipt of this form, please indicate your request in the comments section of the form. If there are any questions regarding information you have provided on the form, or concerns regarding your request, DHS&EM will contact you directly.

DHS&EM will make your airline reservations and e-mail you your flight confirmation data. Flights that are not purchased by DHS&EM are not reimbursable unless permission has been received from the DHS&EM Administrative Manager in advance. Please indicate in the comments section on the travel request form if you would like the confirmation data another way (i.e. fax).

At the completion of travel, mail or fax your travel authorization form back to DHS&EM with all original receipts. If you received an advance in per diem, you have 5 working days to complete and return your travel authorization form. If you did not receive an advance, you have 10 working days to complete and return your travel authorization form. Travel payments will be processed and mailed within approximately 4 weeks of receipt by DHS&EM, providing all receipts and signatures are included with your travel authorization form.

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Service, the State of Alaska travel guidelines have been revised. Without receipts you will only be reimbursed for meals (per diem). The meal rate is $60.00 per day. The meal rate is prorated according to the time you arrive on the first day and the time you leave on the last day. Effective 01/01/07 the mileage rate has changed to .485 per mile.
