The maximum per person amounts for the reimbursement of travel and entertainment meal expenses have been revised as follows:
Travel Meals
Business and Finance Bulletin G-28, Travel Regulations (Travel Policy) defines the Meal and Incidental
Expenses (M&IE) Reimbursement Cap as the maximum amount authorized for the daily meal and incidental
expenses established by the University. This is for all business travel of less than 30 days in the continental
United States, which includes the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. The maximum M&IE
rate for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is $79.00 and is based on the highest per diem rate available for all UC
locations as published by US General Services Administration for Fiscal 2023.
Entertainment Meals
The maximum meal rates for entertainment and business meeting meals have been increased in response
to soaring food prices. The new rates are as follows:
Breakfast $31
Lunch $54
Dinner $94
Light Refreshments $22
As a reminder, these amounts include the cost of food and beverages, labor, sales tax, service, and delivery
charges except for the donor and recruitment related events hosted by the President and Chancellors.
