Where do I send my reimbursement?
Once you have completed your reimbursement claim form (Travel/Conference, Mileage, Supplies/Food), give it to your immediate supervisor for an approval signature and budget code. If you are using categorical funds, the fund manager will also need to sign your reimbursement claim form. If your Travel/Conference reimbursement is out of state, a third signature is required from the Superintendent.

How long does it typically take to process a reimbursement request?
A reimbursement request may take up to 30 days from the time we receive the claim to get processed. If the reimbursement claim is filled out completely and there are funds in the account, it can be processed in a timely manner. Unfortunately, claims are received that are incomplete, which will delay the process even further. Incomplete forms will be returned to your school site/department.
