 Subject: MASSMAIL - Mileage Rate Increase Effective July 1

Effective July 1, 2007, the mileage reimbursement rate for employees 
using private passenger vehicles for University business has increased 
from 44.5 cents per mile to 48.5 cents per mile. The OBFS Business and 
Financial Policies and Procedures, Sections 15.4 and 15.1, have been 
updated to reflect the new rate at 
<http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/manual/index.html>.

Two Travel/Employee Expense Reimbursement forms are posted on the Forms 
area of the OBFS Web site at <http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/obfshome.cfm?
level=2&path=Forms&xmldata=travelforms>. 

One form has the old rate and one form has the new rate. Rate for mileage 
reimbursements should be determined by the date of the travel, as follows:
*Rate per mile for travel that occurred through June 30, 2007 - 44.5 
cents 
*Rate per mile for travel that occurs on or after July 1, 2007 - 48.5 
cents 

If the travel started on or before June 30 and ended on or after July 1, 
two forms should be completed to cover the appropriate dates with the 
correct mileage rate in order to comply with generally accepted 
accounting principles. 

If you have questions on the mileage reimbursement change or conference 
lodging requirements, please contact the appropriate individual listed on 
the Travel Who to Ask page at <http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/obfshome.cfm?
level=2&path=payables&xmldata=whotoask>.
