The “cut-off deadline” (Ausschlussfrist) for submitting business travel reimbursement requests is regulated by law; it is not determined by Freie Universität Berlin. Your claim to have your business travel costs reimbursed expires if you fail to submit your digital or written application within a six-month period after completing the business trip. In digital terms, the application submission date is considered the date upon which the request for reimbursement (Erstattungsantrag) is submitted.

The system does not currently notify business travelers if the cut-off deadline is approaching. We are in the process of evaluating whether to introduce such a function.

No.
