POST-TRIP FAQs

• Q: What if I paid for another traveler’s expenses?

  A: Each traveler should be responsible for their own expenses in order to ensure proper reconciliation of funding. If expenses are shared, be sure to keep documentation to support this shared cost (ex. Venmo or Zelle transaction receipt, including amounts and names).
