Is there a governmentwide policy on reimbursement for work-related technology expenses (i.e. phone, Internet, etc.)?
To our knowledge, there is not one source or guidance issued that provides a governmentwide work-related reimbursement policy. Rather, each government agency is responsible for defining its own policies. A portion of legislation that enables agencies to use appropriated funds to install and fund telephone lines and/or other equipment in the homes of employees authorized to work at home is below. Telework.gov provides additional details about specific telework legislation here.
