What to report for $100 or more for gifts, meal, or travel?
✅ $100+ Rule – If your committee spends $100 or more on a gift, meal, or travel:
  • You must explain the purpose in the Description of Payment field (not just use an expenditure code).
  • For gifts, include the date, description, and recipient’s name (or “undetermined recipient” if not yet known—then amend within 45 days).
  • For meals, include the date, number of attendees, and whether the candidate or authorized individual was present.
🚫 No freebies – Personal holiday gifts, thank-you baskets, or non-political items should not be bought with campaign funds.
