We have a breakfast, lunch, dinner reimbursement limit. We believe that if we don’t reimburse it would limit the DSP’s willingness to take a customer out when requested. It would both make the DSP and the customer uncomfortable if the customer was eating and the DSP just sitting and watching. At the rate our DSP’s make hourly they can’t always afford a meal out or an activity out with their customers. We require receipts and documentation that the event was for the social and emotional benefit of the customer. Hope this helps.

Subject: Member Question
Happy New Year everyone! Please see a member question below. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
When staff takes a client out to get food we are finding it difficult to determine when it is appropriate for the staff to use agency petty cash to help pay for their meal when they take individuals out. Do any other providers have a policy in place guiding the use of agency petty cash? Does this scenario make sense? I am finding it hard to put this in writing.
