How long after traveling do I have to file a Travel Expense Statement (TES)?
The obvious answer is: the sooner you get the TES submitted, the sooner you will be reimbursed. That being said, a TES must be filed within 30 days after the completion of official GT travel/business, regardless of when you physically return to GA Tech. (For example, if you go the 97th Annual Conference on Widgets, Gismos and Really Neat Stuff in Bradenton, FL for 5 days and then hang out in Daytona for another week you are already 7 days into your time to process the TES. If you go to a conference and then directly to your summer internship without submitting a TES on the conference you will be ineligible to submit a TES when you return to GA Tech in the fall and ineligible to be reimbursed for your travel.
