In an effort to alleviate volunteer confusion around the volunteer reimbursements process, several updates and clarifications have been made to the Volunteer Expense Reimbursement and Vendor Payment Process page on MyAFS Help & Learning. A summary of changes includes:

• Updated Expense Report form, with current budget codes and current mileage reimbursement guidelines (65.5 cents / mile).
• Clarification about the approval process.
• Clarification about where to send requests for payment.
• Clarification regarding the turnaround time for requests.

Please note there is a strong preference for reimbursement or payment requests to be emailed to fieldfinance@afsusa.org, rather than mailing hard copies to the National Office in New York. Emailing the request(s) will expedite the reimbursement timeline by at least a week.

If you have questions, please direct them to fieldfinance@afsusa.org or to askafs@afsusa.org.
