Z. Special Occasion Gift Waiver

You may request a Special Occasion Gift Waiver for gifts related to an engagement, wedding, birth or adoption of a child, or death in the family that would not meet an exception to the Gift Rule.[138] You can find the waiver form here. The waiver covers gifts you would receive after the Committee approves your request. Any gifts you receive prior to receiving the Committee’s approval would still need to meet an exception to the Gift Rule.[139] The request for and approval of any Special Occasion Gift Waiver is a confidential communication with the Committee. If you file Financial Disclosure statements, see Financial Disclosure Reporting for Gifts for information about Financial Disclosure requirements.
