Background
Mileage reimbursement is approved by the Employment Counselor (EC) when public transportation from home to the approved activity is not available or public transportation takes more than two hours round trip. Time to and from the child's school or child care provider does not count when approving mileage.
In Santa Clara County, mileage reimbursement payments are paid to CalWORKs Employment Services (CWES) clients who meet certain requirements. The reimbursement rate is the rate reimbursed to Santa Clara County employees.
Changes
Effective January 1, 2024, the mileage rate is increased to $0.67 per mile.
Note: Claims for miles driven between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, are reimbursed at $0.655 per mile.
With this Update, the CWES Handbook Chapter Transportation-Related Expenses (TRE) Payments is revised.
