Gift to CSU - Not the Individual (Form 801)

There are limited circumstances where gifts that afford a personal benefit to a CSU employee can be considered a gift to the CSU, and therefore need not be reported on the employee’s electronic Form 700: Statement of 经济利益. 大多数情况下,这些 are travel gifts, including accommodations and food associated with the travel.

To qualify as a gift to the CSU, the following strict statutory requirements must 得到满足:

• The travel payment must be pre-approved in writing by the campus representative appointed  处理这样的礼物;
• The designated campus representative must receive and control the gift and make the determination of which CSU employees will travel.  赠与人不得指定 name, title, class or otherwise who will travel or otherwise use the gift;
• The travel must be for official CSU business;
• AND CSU must report the payment to the FPPC on a 利益冲突 Form 801: Gifts to Agency and Instructions [pdf], and post it on the CSU website within 30 days of receipt or use.

Failure to comply with any of these requirements will result in the gift being classified as personal to the individual who traveled, and reportable on his/her electronic Form 700: Statement of 经济利益.

Travel payments are limited to the amount of CSU’s own reimbursement rates.  如果 cost of travel exceeds this rate, the difference is considered a gift to the employee and, if over $50 is reportable on the employee’s electronic Form 700: Statement of 经济利益.
