Mileage Increase

Date: March 1, 2007

Federal Mileage Allowance Increase

There has been an increase in the Federal mileage allowance to 48.5 cents per mile, an increase of 4 cents from the previous rate. Therefore, all employees using their privately owned car on official business may claim reimbursement at 48.5 cents for all trips made on or after February 1, 2007.

The "Federal Rate" is interpreted at the GSA rate.

To see a copy of the Memorandum issued by the Comptroller's Office, State of Connecticut, go to memorandum 2007-05.

IMPACT ON STATE MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR EMPLOYEES IN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNITS

The GSA rate is used as the mileage reimbursement rate for many State of Connecticut collective bargaining units. The "mileage reimbursement rate" under many State collective bargaining unit agreements is subject to adjustment within 30 days of revision to the Federal GSA rate. In accordance with General Notice 2007-03 from the Office of Labor Relations (which will be forthcoming), the mileage reimbursement rate increase is effective for travel on or after March 1, 2007 for employees using personally owned vehicles for official State business.

The increased rate applies to non-represented employees and the following collective bargaining units: NP-2, NP-3, NP-4, NP-5, NP-6, NP-7, NP-8, P-1, P-2, P-3A, P-3B, P-4 and P-5. The above provisions also apply to Managerial and Confidential employees and all other executive branch employees who are exempt from the classified service or not included in any prevailing bargaining unit contract, except unclassified of any board of trustees of the constituent units of higher education.
