After Travel

IMPORTANT: Travelers are NOT to create their own reimbursement Expensing Reports in Concur. After trip completion - please submit your travel expense info to your SSC or travel processor. They will create a Concur Expense Report for you using your E-Receipts, any additional receipts, and trip documentation you submit to them. Out-of-pocket receipts MUST be submitted not later than 60 days after returning so the reimbursement can be processed without being taxable income.
