AGING WORKSHOPS

SUMMER INSTITUTE 2019

TRAVEL

The Bureau will reimburse actual costs of travel (rail and air) for your round trip to Boston, up to $100 per day of participation, up to a maximum of $300. (For example, participants attending meetings for three days will only be reimbursed up to $300.) Travelers from Washington, DC and other areas where the round-trip fare is less than $300, will, of course, only be reimbursed for actual cost of their ticket. If traveling from overseas, please use a U.S. or European Union carrier due to funding agency restrictions

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NBER WILL ONLY REIMBURSE UP TO THE TRAVEL ALLOWANCE STATED IN YOUR CONFIRMATION.

Ground transportation will be reimbursed up to $100 with documented receipts. Parking at airports will be covered up to $60. Current mileage is 54.5 cents per mile. One night's reasonable lodging (based on the going rate in the area) will be reimbursed for trips 600 miles or longer, provided the total for mileage and lodging does not exceed the discount airfare.

**** The NBER now requires requests for reimbursements to be submitted within 90 days of the meeting ****
