What are some of the common mistakes to avoid when completing Travel Expense Reports that delay processing the reimbursement?
• Be sure to include your permanent home address, Financial Services mails reimbursement checks to your home. • Include social security number if this is your 1st TER. • Make sure all receipts are firmly attached to the expense report and are originals for items to be reimbursed, we cannot pay from copies. • It is better to over-explain than to not give enough information for us to understand the expense or reason for it. • Acquire all necessary signatures before the expense report is turned into Financial Services. • Be sure to include the 10-digit fund, organization and program number; this is how Financial Services knows what department or grant to charge for incurred expenses.
