The State of Arizona has updated the State of Arizona Accounting Manual, effective Jan. 27, 2025, to include the following:
- The mileage reimbursement rate has increased to 67 cents per mile.
- The lodging expense reimbursement rates have increased.
- Both the single and extended-day rates have increased.
We have updated Financial Services Manual policies 14.13 Meal Reimbursement, 14.14 Lodging, 14.15 Transportation, 14.71 Meals/Lodging Cost Index, and the Travel Expense Report form to represent the new mileage and lodging reimbursement rates.
These new rates should only be used for travel on or after Jan. 27, 2025. Travel activity that occurred before should utilize the prior reimbursement rates.
Please confirm you are utilizing the correct rates based on the travel date when completing the Travel Expense Report. For any reimbursements currently enroute for disbursement, Accounts Payable is closely monitoring to ensure business travelers are properly compensated at the updated reimbursement rates.
