- Hosting official guests or hosted events occurring in state and out of state will be held to a reasonable standard rate of high city travel per diem rates. Rates are per person and include gratuity of between 15% - 20%
- Should meal expenses significantly exceed the above reasonable rates, documentation either on the Reimbursement request or in FOATEXT, depending on payment type method, will be required explaining the reason for the excess.
- In addition to the FOATEXT explanation for PCard Hosting Purchase, an email from the Senior Fiscal Officer will be the documentation needed to be kept with the Pcard log proving authorization of the increase from reasonable standards.
- Hosting occurring in countries outside of the United States will follow the meal per diem rates set by the federal government http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp and would follow current split of travel per diem rates at 25% breakfast, 25% lunch and 50% dinner.
