Some members of the SRC-B are eligible to receive a per diem of $55 a day. All members are eligible for expense reimbursement as authorized by the commissioner's plan for each day spent on authorized council activities. These activities include meetings and conferences approved by the council and are at least two hours or more.
Council members who incur child care expenses that they would not have otherwise incurred, may be reimbursed for those expenses as well with prior Council authorization. Members who are state employees or employees of a political subdivision do not receive daily compensation, however can file for expense reimbursement. In order to receive your per diem or reimbursements you must have registered in SWIFT, have a vendor ID, and have all your information matching in the system to what is on the form that is filed for reimbursement.
Your information must be kept current, and a non-employee expense report form must be completed and signed appropriately. This means your signature and the signature of the authorizing authority for the council. Members of the SRC-B should work with the staff liaison in order toto ensure accuracy in the completion of the forms. Completed forms get emails to deed.travel@state.mn.us.
Individuals who are not SRC-B members but serve on Council committees and task forces cannot receive the per diem. However, an individual may receive a special expense reimbursement as authorized in the commissioner's plan. This reimbursement of special expenses must be prior authorized and approved prior to incurring an actual expense. For example, child care expenses, that otherwise would not have been incurred, may be reimbursed upon prior council authorization. This expense would be subject to approval by the commissioner prior to incurring the expense.
