Board members who don't already work full time for the government get paid for their Board work. They receive a daily rate up to the top pay for a Grade 18 federal employee, plus travel costs. Board members who are federal employees only get their travel expenses paid.

Board members who do not already work full time for the federal government can be paid for their Board work. They may receive a daily rate, not more than the top daily rate for grade 18 of the General Schedule (under section 5332 of title 5), including time spent traveling. This applies whether they're attending Board meetings or otherwise doing Board business. While traveling on Board business away from home, these members may also get travel expenses, including a daily allowance for living costs, at the same rate given to people occasionally employed by the government (under section 5703 of title 5). Getting paid this way does not make a Board member a federal employee or official for any purpose. Board members who already work for the federal government are entitled to have their travel expenses paid when they travel on Board business, but this section does not give them the extra daily compensation.

Members of the Board who are not in the regular full-time employ of the United States shall, while attending meetings or conferences of the Board or while otherwise engaged in the business of the Board, be entitled to receive compensation at a rate not to exceed the daily rate currently being paid grade 18 of the General Schedule (under section 5332 of title 5), including traveltime. While so serving, on the business of the Board away from their homes or regular places of business, members of the Board may be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by section 5703 of title 5, for persons employed intermittently in the Government service. Payments under this section shall not render members of the Board employees or officials of the United States for any purpose. Members of the Board who are in the employ of the United States shall be entitled to travel expenses when traveling on the business of the Board.
