Understand an expense timeline and payment status

Follow a claim from submission through review and reimbursement.

For Employee

Where to start

  • Open My expenses → Current claims or History, then the claim.

What to do

  1. 01

    Open the intended claim from Current claims or History. Check its title, amount and date before interpreting its status.

  2. 02

    Read the dated timeline events to distinguish submission, reviewer decisions and reimbursement progress.

  3. 03

    Read reviewer feedback if the claim needs attention or was rejected. Use the offered claim controls to respond rather than creating another claim for the same expense.

  4. 04

    An Approved claim has passed review but may still await a reimbursement run. Locked and Exported run stages are separate from Paid.

  5. 05

    When payment is recorded, read the recorded payment details. MyDekela records the employer’s confirmation; it does not itself send money or independently prove a bank transfer arrived.

  6. 06

    Use History to revisit completed records, and ask your employer’s expense administrator about an overdue reimbursement.

What happens next

The timeline explains recorded progress; closed claims remain in History.

If you need help

Ask your employer’s expense administrator about missing payment. MyDekela’s recorded payment status does not independently confirm a bank transfer arrived.

Does Approved mean Paid?

No. Reimbursement is recorded separately.
