SDR is a changing IMF unit. Convert the applicable amount using the relevant date and official rate; the liability ceiling is not the amount you automatically receive.

What to check

Keep itemized receipts and the airline’s written offer of help. A bill shows what you paid; you may still need to show why the cost was necessary and who should cover it.

What to do next

List each cost separately and attach the receipt. The expense tracker can help you organize the amounts without treating them as approved.
