Job Interview Travel Rules

---

The NHSC contracts with Civility MS to provide travel planning and reimbursement for participants interviewing at NHSC-approved sites that meet the required Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) score.

• You have a total $1,200.00 allotment to conduct all your job interview travel. This amount represents your entire allotment for all approved job interview travel combined; it is not $1,200 per individual visit. Please refer to the Reimbursement tab for detailed expense eligibility and reimbursement requirements.
• Standard Job Interview Travel - A standard visit is generally approved for three days and two nights, which typically includes: Two travel days (to and from the site), and one interview day.
•                    Participants may be approved for additional days of travel if visiting multiple sites within close geographic proximity. 
•                   The approved duration of travel is determined by the NHSC at the time your scholar travel request is reviewed, not by CivililtyMS.
• If you are traveling less than 50 miles from your origin residence to your job interview, you are not eligible for reimbursement. Local interview travel is not reimbursable, and participants are not eligible to use the NHSC travel allotment for these visits.
• Origin residence is your address currently listed in the My BHW portal or the address you listed in your scholar travel request.
• You will not be reimbursed if you visit the same site more than once.
• The travel allotment covers job interview travel during your initial job site search. Future travel (that is, site transfers) is not reimbursable.
• If you travel with another member of your scholar or S2S LRP class, you must each use your own allotment to cover travel costs to interviews.
