The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA), Section 50-19-7, requires use of the United States General Services Administration’s (GSA) rates for mileage when state employees are reimbursed for use of a privately owned vehicle on official travel.
The GSA recently announced revised rates for the calendar year 2021. The following rates are applicable to travel that occurs on or after Jan. 1, 2021:
Tier 1 Rates:
Automobile $0.56 per mile
Motorcycle $0.54 per mile

The mileage reimbursement rate policy has been updated on the State Accounting Office’s website to reflect the 2021 rates. The PeopleSoft Travel and Expense system has been updated with the new rates.
