How much is a committee member's compensation for each day of actual service, and what is the travel reimbursement limit?

• A. $15 for each day, with travel reimbursed up to $500.
• B. $25 for each day of actual service, with travel expenses reimbursed up to $1000.
• C. $50 per day, with travel reimbursed up to $1500.
• D. $100 per day, with no travel reimbursement.

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how committee members are modestly compensated for their service and reimbursed for travel under New Jersey rules. The idea is to pay a small, fixed amount for each day a member actually serves, plus reimburse travel expenses up to a set cap, so service is encouraged without creating a salary.

For this specific scenario, the proper arrangement is a fixed $25 for each day of actual service, with travel expenses reimbursed up to $1000. This combination reflects a light per‑diem to acknowledge time spent, while keeping travel costs within a reasonable annual limit. The other options would either overstate or understate the compensation and travel limit, which would not align with the authorized schedule.

In practice, you’d receive the daily amount only on days you attend service, and travel costs would be paid back as receipts up to the $1000 cap. If travel costs exceed that cap, only up to $1000 is reimbursed.
