Travel Expense Reimbursement

The Social Security Act establishes travel expense reimbursement by Federal and state agencies for claimants travel incidental to medical examinations and to parties, their representatives, and all reasonably necessary witnesses for travel exceeding 75 miles to attend medical examinations, reconsideration interviews and proceedings before an administrative law judge. Reimbursement procedures require the claimant to provide 1) a list of expenses incurred, and 2) receipts of such expense. State and Federal personnel review the listings and receipts to verify the amount to be reimbursed to the claimant. The respondents are claimants for Title II benefits and Title XVI payments, their representatives and witnesses.
