Is there a time limit for requesting reimbursement?
Yes. The Department closes out its books at the end of each fiscal year (September 30th). The longer you wait after travel to request reimbursement, the longer it takes to find the correct documentation and process your payment. It is sometimes possible to request reimbursement after the end of the fiscal year, but it becomes increasingly difficult. No requests submitted after two years will be processed. As part of the process, the Department mails you a form it prepares based on your faxed request. Please ensure that the form lists your current mailing address. If a treasury check is mailed to an incorrect address, the Department must first track down the missing check before it can issue a second one.
