Example 1
The distance to the hearing site from the farthest point within the geographic service
area of the State DHU responsible for holding the hearing is 142 miles. The appointed
representative travels a distance of 225 miles one-way to attend the disability hearing.
The amount the appointed representative may be reimbursed will be based on the amount
that is payable for traveling 142 miles each way, to and from the hearing.
Example 2
The distance to the hearing site from the farthest point within the geographic service
area of the State DHU responsible for holding the hearing is 188 miles. The appointed
representative travels a distance of 170 miles one-way to attend the hearing. The
amount the appointed representative may be reimbursed will be based on the actual
distance traveled.
Example 3
The distance to the hearing site from the farthest point within the geographic service
area of the State DHU responsible for holding the hearing is 65 miles. Since the distance
between these two points does not exceed 75 miles, the travel expenses of an appointed
representative to attend the disability hearing are not reimbursable.
