Food/meals now require detailed receipts for reimbursement

Nebraska legislation (LB 533) recently went into effect that requires additional supporting documentation for employee expense reimbursements.

Effective immediately, detailed receipts now are required for all food/meal expenses equal to or greater than $5.

In addition, expense reimbursement requests must be submitted no later than 60 days after the final day on which expenses were incurred.

Each request must be fully itemized and include the:

  • Amount;
  • Date;
  • Place; and
  • Essential character of the expense incurred.

UNMC internal policies and procedures for this change are in work and employees will be notified when these are in place.

Any questions about this change should be directed to Tom Keenan at 559-5400 or Susan Blum at 559-5401.
