ARRL VEC Reimbursements.

The maximum reimbursement the ARRL VEC allows ARRL Volunteer Examiner (VE) Teams to retain for test sessions is "up to $7.00" per exam fee collected. Only the amount needed to offset out-of-pocket expenses incurred (or to be incurred) is to be retained. As long as the expense is warranted and has been prudently incurred, and the expense is specifically related to exam administration, then the fee can be retained.

The team should keep a complete record of the expenses paid (with receipts) in team records for two years.
