Meal Rates
University of Maryland Meal Rates
Reimbursement for high-cost meals must be approved in advance and only for unusual circumstances. Documentation justifying the unusual circumstances necessitating the reimbursement for meals at the high-cost rates must be provided. Reimbursement may be at the Maryland Department of Budget & Management's Meal Reimbursement Rates in High Cost Metropolitan Areas or at actual cost, supported by receipts. Additional information may be requested for reimbursement of high-cost meals based on actual receipts when reimbursement exceeds the high-cost per diem rate.
