To be reimbursed, UMB employees must submit requests for reimbursement of business expenses within six months — or earlier depending on the UMB school.
As of April 1, in order to be reimbursed, UMB employees must submit requests for reimbursement of business expenses within six months of when they were incurred — or earlier, depending on the UMB school. This applies to expenses such as phone bills, meals, membership dues, etc.
Why? This change aligns with the time frame of employees’ business reimbursements with employee travel expenses — both will require submissions within six months of when the expense is incurred or when travel occurs.
What’s behind this change? Timely submission of expenses is a best practice that helps UMB charge funders in a timely fashion and make financial decisions based on a more accurate picture of available funds.
