Match Expense Reimbursement 

The Society will reimburse certain expenses associated with officiating at NERRS sanctioned games and events only. Territorial and National assignment expenses are reimbursed by the Northeast or USA Referee Societies according to their established policies. Expenses for exchange assignments are established on a case by case basis by the Society President. 

Reimbursement rates are posted here.

NERRS views its referees as independent contractors for tax purposes.
