H1B - Travel for Client work- Reimbursement Rules ?

[Consultant78]

Hi Friends ,

I work for Employer A via Vendor B consulting at Client C. ( EVC Model )
My Client C wants me to travel to a requirements gathering meeting in another city. My client is bearing the travel expenses and have asked me to send them receipts so they can reimburse me.
My question is , am I allowed to accept reimbursements directly from the client ? Or must the reimbursement go to my employer A first and then come to me ?
Please Note that this is not a payment of any kind. All reimbursements are provided only with valid receipts and it is money that I have actually spent for my travel and other expenses.
Hoping to hear from you guys soon.

Thanks
RG

You should get payments only from A. Ask A to pay for it and they should invoice that to B/C as appropriate.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
