Federal Mileage Rates – Medical

The following table contains the federal mileage rate allowable for transportation to and from dependent care and medical care. To calculate the credit for mileage, you must multiply the Federal Mileage Rate by the number of miles travelled round-trip. Staff may use this Excel spreadsheet to assist in the calculation of mileage.

ExampleExample

Clients may verify the addresses and frequencies of eligible transportation costs by providing a telephonic self-declaration via the Telephonic Signature line. Once the client provides the telephonic self-declaration, you must mark the eligible transportation costs as verified in the Verifications tab by selecting Other under Documents of Evidence, typing “Telephonic Self-Declaration” in the textbox, and clicking Save.

Reminder: If the client submits a written and signed self-declaration for any self-declarable verification item, you must accept the verification. Do NOT direct the client to resubmit the self-declaration using the telephonic signature line.

You must enter the home address of the client and the destination of the trip into a map service such as Google Maps or MapQuest. These sites will provide mileage based on a default route. The default route should be used to calculate the allowable expense unless the client indicates that they take a different route.

You must save the route results and calculation and attach to the case narrative. Clients must not be asked to provide these printouts. You must include a clear explanation of the expense in the case narrative
