Effective today, 3-10-2021 the H-2A subsistence rate increased to $13.17 per day for workers who do not present receipts. Generally an H-2A employer should NOT ask workers for receipts. If a worker presents receipts, the maximum subsistence reimbursement remains $55.00 per day.
For workers arriving today and after today, subsistence pay must be computed at the new rate of $13.17 per day for each day of travel (per 24 hours) from the place of recruitment. The new rate will apply even though the old rate of $12.68 may appear in your H-2A work contract. Typically, the inbound subsistence pay will be 3 days x $13.17 = $39.51 when traveling by bus, however you will need to confirm the number of days your workers are in transit. Typical outbound subsistence pay is 2 days x $13.17 = $26.34 to most points in Mexico when traveling by bus or 1 day if by air.
Please contact my office if you have any questions or concerns about your H-2A employer obligations.
Thank you,
