When you file a claim for supplemental
security income (SSI) benefits, you may
incur certain travel expenses in pursuing
your claim. Sections
416.1496 through
416.1499 explain who may be reimbursed
for travel expenses, the types of travel
expenses that are reimbursable, and when and
how to claim reimbursement. Generally, the
agency that requests you to travel will be
the agency that reimburses you. No later
than when it notifies you of the examination
or hearing described in
§416.1496(a), that agency will give you
information about the right to travel
reimbursement, the right to advance payment
and how to request it, the rules on means of
travel and unusual travel costs, and the
need to submit receipts. |
