What are the procedures for making a payment (including a reimbursement) to a student in F1 or J1 status?
Forward the AP voucher/Travel Expense Report to Christine Rodrigue in Financial Services. Reimbursements and/or payments made to or on behalf of an F, J, M, or Q status individual continue to be subject to a 14% rate of withholding. Many individuals incorrectly believe that the accountable plan rule applies for all reimbursements. However, the accountable plan rule only applies to employees or individual contractors in a business relationship and not to students. The purpose of a student visa is educational and not business related.
