The NHSC permits reimbursement of up to $1,200 for one family member to accompany you on only oneof your approved Site Visits. The NHSC recognizes a family member as someone who will be relocating with you, and living in the household with you while you are serving your NHSC service commitment.
You and your approved family member must depart and return together when traveling and stay together in one hotel room. Hotel double-occupancy government rates apply. Hotel expenses will come out of your (the participant’s) NHSC travel allotment, not your family member’s allotment.
Family members are not allowed to be reimbursed beyond the standard site visit of 3 days/2 nights. For example, if you are visiting multiple sites and have been approved for an extended travel period of 5 days/4 nights, your family member will only be reimbursed for 3 days and 2 nights of the Site Visit.
Scholars and Students to Service (S2S) couples (spouses or unmarried partners) that are in the same Scholar and S2S class and wish to travel together will not receive an additional $1,200 allotment for family member travel. If you are traveling together on the same site visit, the NHSC will deduct allowable expenses from the allotment of the participant who submitted the request and was approved for Site Visit travel.
