Reimbursement Procedures Collect all receipts for airfare, lodging, and conference/meeting registration. All receipts should be on 8 ½ by 11 paper. If a receipt is smaller than that size, scotch tape it to 8 ½ by 11 paper. (NO staples; receipts have go through machines that are damaged by staples). Complete the form found at http://fiscaff.sfsu.edu/content/combined-travel-claim-and-itemized-listactual-expensesafter-01012016 on the tab labeled Subsistence. Only list expenses related to airfare, lodging, and conference/meeting registration. Place registration fees in Business Expense column. Place lodging expenses in the appropriate column for location (e.g., 48 states, Alaska/Hawaii, or International). Material entered on the subsistence tab will be automatically entered on the STD 262 form, but one will need to add a statement about the purpose of the trip on the STD 262 form before printing it. Print out both the completed subsistence and the STD 262 forms. Sign the STD form in the second claimant signature box towards the bottom of the form. Place the STD 262 form on top. If the receipts total more than the amount allowed ($1,000), write at the top of the form Traveler is only claiming $1,000. Similarly, in these cases cross out claim total and write above it the amount actually being claimed for reimbursement and in the space next to it write only pay. Place receipts on 8 1/2 by 11 paper behind the two forms. Receipts should indicate that the amount has been paid. Credit card receipts work especially well and for international travel already give us the currency exchange rate. Internet receipts sometimes don t have the information that is needed. In those cases, use the Certification of Non-Original/Electronic Receipts document with the traveler s signature. Place this signed document in front of the receipts. Order of documents paper clipped together (NO staples): 1. Signed STD 262 Form 2. Subsistence Form 3. Signed Certification of Non-Original/Electronic Receipts (if needed) 4. Receipts for airfare, lodging, and conference/meeting fees Within 30 days of travel (the sooner the better), submit the above to your AOC who will submit to the College financial staff for your program.
