Please use the mileage form posted on the HFM BOCES website. There are two versions: Excel, that will calculate for you or PDF that you manually calculate. Also, please use the form for the correct year, as mileage reimbursement amounts are typically changed by the IRS each year.
Most work mileages are listed on the HFM BOCES mileage chart posted on our website. If the mileage is not listed there, use Mapquest.com to calculate your mileage. Select “directions”, select “options”, select “shortest distance” and input your start and end locations.
Please make sure your claim is complete. On each page of your claim, you are required to supply: your mailing address, budget code(s), appropriate location codes (as listed on the left side of the form), round trip (yes or no selected), purpose, your original signature as well as your supervisor(s) original signatures and dates (after the last date of service).
After completion, claims should be submitted monthly to Robin Rose at extension 6320.
