Memorandum
The mileage reimbursement as mentioned in this bill is for vans insured, maintained and fueled by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs through the Medical Centers located throughout West Virginina. These vans are located at the Medical Centers, Vet Centers and other veterans organizations throughout the state. The volunteer drivers only have a short drive from their homes to these locations. Therefore, they should not receive any mileage reimbursement.
The $50.00 will be paid through the state's EPICS payroll system. There will be Social Security and Medicare withheld. They will receive a W-2 and the money will be taxable.
