FrEquently Asked Questions

Question: How soon will I receive my Site Visit or Relocation Reimbursement?

Answer: It is NHSC policy that reimbursement of allowable expenses be sent within 30 business days of expense form approval.


After returning from a site visit or completing a relocation, participants should schedule an Expense appointment through the Travel Management portal as soon as possible to enable the earliest possible reimbursement of your expenses. During an Expense appointment, participants will be able to complete and submit an expense form with accompanying receipts with the assistance of a Travel Coordinator.


For site visits, participants have 90 days (3 months) from the last date of their site visit to submit their expense forms for reimbursement. For relocations, expense reports must be submitted within 180 days (6 months) of completion of the relocation. Participants who wait longer than the allotted reimbursement period to submit their expense reports will no longer be eligible for reimbursement.

Question: I have a Conditional Relocation approval; how do I submit my request for a Standard Relocation approval?

Answer: Refer to the information at the top of the Request for Relocation tab. As noted within this tab, there are four documents you will need to submit a Standard Relocation travel request to the NHSC before you can participate in a Standard Government Managed Move or be reimbursed for expenses related to a self-move completed under a Conditional Relocation approval.

Question: Which receipts are required for reimbursement?

Answer: All receipts relative to approved Site Visit/Relocation travel expenses will be required for reimbursement except for the following:


  • Gas receipts related to approved travel in personally owned vehicles (POV). POV gas expenses will be reimbursed based on the current GSA Cost Per Mile reimbursement rate which will be discussed with participants during their scheduled Site Visit or Relocation appointment with a Travel Coordinator.
  • Meals & Incidentals receipts related to approved travel. Meals & Incidentals will be reimbursed based on the GSA per diem rate established for the zip code in which the site visit interview or relocation will be taking place. Details related to per diem rates will be provided by a Travel Coordinator during scheduled Site Visit or Relocation appointments.
  • Travel expenses covered by Site Visit/Relocation clinics. Some clinics provide financial assistance for certain expenses relative to participant site visit interview and relocation travel. Any expenses covered by a clinic will not be reimbursable to participants.
