Because the Internal Revenue Service considers that professional memberships and dues are an individual responsibility and not that of the institutional employer of a professional, special permission is needed for reimbursement. Obtain e-mail approval from the department head to submit with your request.

Please attach the following documentation to Professional Membership Reimbursement Request

• Department head authorization
• Hard copy of subscription notice or printout from website showing the name of the organization and the cost of membership
• Exact dates covered by the membership
• Receipt in your name indicating the item paid for, amount, and date purchased.
