Report actual costs for transportation and other work related expenses for all FSET participants, except legal alien FSET participants, if the expense is necessary for the completion of the assigned FSET activity.
This code covers the same expenses as codes 2232 and 0858 (tribal code). FSET participant support for legal aliens is reported on code 2236.
CORe will transfer 50% of 0861 to 9861. The Department will reimburse the allowable reported actual expenses remaining in 0861.
Program participation must be reported in the Client Assistance for Re-employment and Economic Support System ("CARES") in accordance with the Department’s instructions.
Examples of allowable expenses are the following:
Transportation, uniforms, work shoes, tools, license fees, etc.
Actual transportation and work-related expenses, regardless of the amount and the length of time may be reported. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (a.k.a. Farm Bill) removed the funding limit amount and the length of time limit.
