Go to the business office at the VA hospital.  They will give you the paperwork to fill out and I believe they either give you the money or cut you a check...used to take my brother to the VA and dealt with the same situation.

Try calling the Veterans of Foreign Wars and see if they have a driver available.

Contact your VA office in the area. If the person is a Veteran and need of health care it is a possiblity that he can recieve it that being he can not afford it or whatever the case may be.

no, you cannot claim mileage.  although you can use actaul expenses.  i feel that if you are asking it is because you do not have the receipts, or that mileage is much more than actual.  as far as payments . . .check with taxact.com, turbotax.com or hrblock.com  they have great interviews and will let you know of the latest tax laws.  tax act is a free download, so there is no charge to use their program..\nhope this helps.\ngood luck

This is something that has nothing to do with a particular state, but rather the individual employer.  I have seen as much as 47cents per mile, to a breakdown of miles.  For example, if you drive 100-250 miles per month you get a flat 150.00, and so on.\nCommonly, the pay for mileage is based upon what uncle SAM allows on a tax deduction, plus a little over to offset wear and tear.  In Nevada, about 38.5 cents per mile, if you use your own vehicle.  Many employers here provide company vehicles, so mileage is not an issue.

IR-2005-99, Sept. 9, 2005\n\nWASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department announced an increase to the optional standard mileage rates for the final four months of 2005.\n\nThe rate will increase to 48.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 2005. This is an increase of 8 cents from the 40.5 cent rate in effect for the first eight months of 2005, as set forth in Rev. Proc. 2004-64.\n\n<edit>\n\nWhile gasoline is a major factor in the mileage figure, other items enter into the calculation of mileage rates, such as the price of new vehicles and insurance.\n\nThe optional business standard mileage rate is used to compute the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business use in lieu of the extra burden of tracking actual costs. This rate is also used as a benchmark by the federal government and many businesses to reimburse their employees for mileage.

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

Okay...I'll be right back. I found a telephone number (toll free) to a regional VA facility that should be able to field your question. (It's probably going to be a Monday through Friday thing, though.) One question: When they gave you confirmation on your claim, why didn't they tell you the form # right then? The government is truly replete with Red Tape. Good luck. If that doesn't pan out, write back. I'm around quite a bit.

Yes,\nThe cost round trip in a vehicle getting 15mpg say a 15pass van would be $24.54, plus you could socialize and not worry about traffic, just having to go pee.

Try getting in touch with the Veterans administration or VFW in your town or the one closes to you.

If you are not re-imbursed keep track of your mileage and you may be able to deduct it on your income taxes as a business expense.\n\nThe IRS mileage rate is 37.5 cents a mile.

You failed to negotiate this at the outset but if you don't ask then you STILL won't get it.  You have nothing to lose by asking for "some" assistance.  Maybe asking for a "partial" allowance may make it easier for the bosses to say yes!  Check with your tax preparer on what exactly you can claim for mileage, I know that you can't claim miles to and from work (and MOST travel allowances don't pay that either), but I don't know about miles during work.

If you are using your vehicle for company use you are clocked in until you take a break or lunch time. And you should also request mileage reimbursement.

If you are receiving a flat dollar amount per month from your employer for the use of your personal automobile while on company business the likelihood is that you will not be getting reimbursed for gasoline purchases as well, although I have seen instances in my accounting practice where an employer will pay both. You will have to ask your employer to explain its policy in this regard if you are not sure.\n\nThe important thing to be aware of is that this money is subject to income tax in your hands as a taxable benefit. In this respect it is important to keep track of all your automobile operating costs as well as the mileage you are driving while on business. At tax time you add up all your auto operating costs, multiply it by the proportion of your business mileage over your total mileage for the year. The resulting figure is the costs you have incured while on business. This cost can be taken as a deduction in computing your income for tax purposes. In some cases these costs will exceed the amount received from your employer as a car allowance thereby offsetting the fact that you have to include the allownace in your income while at the same time giving you some tax saving on the difference. \n\nMany employers pay their employees a mileage allowance for the use of their personal automobiles while on business. Employees are required to report the distance travelled and the reason for the trip on an expense report. As long as the per kilometer rate paid by the employers is equal to or less than the prescibed amounts permitted by the Canada Revenue Agency, then this type of alowance does not have to be included in the employee's income for tax purposes.\n\nFor more detailed information go to the website below
