out-of-pocket expense

Read a random definition: posterity

A quick definition of out-of-pocket expense:

Out-of-pocket expenses are costs that someone pays for using their own money. These expenses can be reimbursed in certain situations, such as when someone incurs costs because of a contract or legal dispute. However, not all expenses qualify as out-of-pocket expenses, and some states have specific rules about what types of expenses can be reimbursed. Examples of out-of-pocket expenses include medical bills, travel costs, and expenses that an employer has agreed to reimburse.

A more thorough explanation:

An out-of-pocket expense is a cost that an individual pays from their own money. These expenses can be reimbursed in certain situations, such as when they are incurred due to a contract or tort dispute. However, out-of-pocket expenses typically only cover reliance damages and not expectation damages.

  • Expenses incurred by a victim while assisting a police investigation into a crime they were a victim of (e.g. travel costs, lost wages)
  • Hospital and medical expenses
  • Travel, meal, or other expenses incurred by an employee that their employer has agreed to reimburse

For an expense to be considered an out-of-pocket expense, the individual must have actually paid or been charged for it. Some states may have additional limitations on what expenses qualify as out-of-pocket expenses.

These examples illustrate how out-of-pocket expenses are costs that an individual pays themselves, rather than being covered by someone else. They can be reimbursed in certain situations, but only cover certain types of damages.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
