Payment to Individual (Honoraria, Stipend, Award, etc.)

Prior to submitting this form, and services being completed, the following details must be confirmed:

If the payee cannot accept a US check, that must be indicated in the justification field. Please also note that wire transfers will incur additional fees that will be assessed to your available budget. You should confirm with the payee prior to them completing the service that they have authorization to receive payment for the service for which you are requesting payment. This may include, but is not limited to, work authorization limitations based on visa and/or citizenship status. If the payee is a non-citizen, in the US on a visa, they will need to confirm with their current employer if they are able to accept payment. Often, this will include a letter from their current/sponsoring institution to UW confirming that they can accept payment.

If the payee is a non-citizen, please complete the honorarium checklist and attach to this request.



If the payee is a non-citizen, and completing the service remotely while outside of the US, they should complete the W-8BEN.

Checks must be cashed within 30 days of receipt, or prior to June 15 of the fiscal year, whichever is earlier based on the date of the issued check. Payments cannot be guaranteed beyond the end of the current fiscal cycle, and individuals requesting payments to individuals should confirm with the payee that the funds have been received prior to June 15.
