Requesting Reimbursement for Entertainment Expenses (Paper Form)  
 
Summary: Use these step-by-step instructions to request reimbursement for entertainment expenses.

Entertainment is processed online. See guidelines for using Payment Authorization for Entertainment. Use the guidelines below only if your request cannot be processed online, such as if you will request:
  • Direct payment to the host's UCSD Travel Card account
  • Payment to a host/ vendor for multiple entertainment events on one transaction
What to do How to do it
1 Complete the Request for Reimbursement of Entertainment Expense form.

  2. If entertainment expenses were charged to the UCSD Travel Card and you would like UCSD Travel to pay the card directly, be sure to check the Direct Pay Card box and include the hosts's UCSD Travel Card account number.
  3. Verify that entertainment expenses, including alcohol (when applicable), are allowable on the fund source you list on the form.
  4. Include an appropriate account code for entertainment on the form.
  5. If submitting multiple entertainment events with one form, complete the multiple entertainment supplement.
    Note: You can request reimbursement for mutiple entertainment events on one form only if the same host or third party is to receive all payments. If the events involve more than one host or multiple third parties, separate entertainment forms must be completed for each.
