To help cover the expenses of hosting a player, billet families receive a monthly payment of $600 from the player's family, due on the first of each month for the duration of the player's stay. This payment is intended to assist with the cost of groceries and basic personal care items such as shampoo, conditioner, and toothpaste. Should the player need specific items beyond the usual essentials, those costs would be the player's responsibility and are not included in the monthly fee.
