WCD Increases Lodging Reimbursement by 2.2%

Monday, September 11, 2017 | 0

Oregon’s Workers’ Compensation Division announced the standard lodging reimbursement rate will increase by 2.2%, effective Oct. 1.

The standard lodging reimbursement rate will increase to $93 from $91, the WCD announced in a revised Bulletin No. 112, published Thursday. The standard meal reimbursement rate will remain at $51.

It’s not clear whether, or to what extent, the lodging and meal reimbursement rates will change for the select counties in which the WCD already offers higher-than-standard allowances.

The revised bulletin says lodging and meal rates were updated, but the bulletin is not marked up to show what changed and the WCD does not make available an archive of previous bulletins to allow such a comparison.
