Sec. 100.153  Routine living expenses.

    Payments by a candidate from his or her personal funds, as defined 
at 11 CFR 110.10(b), for the candidate's routine living expenses that 
would have been incurred without candidacy, including the cost of food 
and residence, are not expenditures. Payments for such expenses by a 
member of the candidate's family as defined in 11 CFR 113.1(g)(7), are 
not expenditures if the payments are made from an account jointly held 
with the candidate, or if the expenses were paid by the family member 
before the candidate became a candidate.

    Effective Date Note: At 73 FR 79601, Dec. 30, 2008, Sec. 100.153 is 
amended by removing the reference to ``11 CFR 110.10(b)'' and adding in 
its place ``11 CFR 100.33'', effective February 1, 2009.
