Requirements to reimburse a minor:

The student must have a personal bank account or Venmo account to receive an ACH reimbursement.

If they don't have either of these, we can mail a physical check to the student so they can deposit into a bank account of their choosing (or cash it, where possible).

If we need to send a check, we'll need the student to add their full name and mailing address as a Comment on the expense report for us to issue the check.

That's it! Thanks for making the world a better place.
