How do I fill in the Claims?

Each host company is required to disburse the qualifying MPA GIA expenses (including allowances) to the student first, and subsequently submit a claim for reimbursement from SMF at the end of the programme.

Claim submission deadline

The deadline for claim submissions will be advised by SMF (approximately 1–2 months after programme completion).

Claims will be processed within 2 months from:

• SMF’s submission deadline, or
• The date of submission of a complete set of documents by companies,

whichever is later.

How the Claims submission works

If your company has one internship placement, you will see a single option:

• MPA GIA Claim
  
  

If your company has two internship placements, you will see two separate options:

• MPA GIA Claim
• MPA GIA Claim II
  
  

Each option corresponds to a different student.
The student’s name will be listed in the form so you can easily identify which claim you are submitting:

Currency conversion

If the currency has already been converted to SGD at the point of payment (as shown in bank statements, credit card statements, or invoices), please use the SGD amount stated in the document. Reimbursement will be based on the SGD amount indicated.

If the currency has not been converted to SGD at the point of payment (e.g. receipt issued in local currency), please use the XE Currency Converter to obtain the conversion rate on the day the cost was incurred. Convert the amount to SGD and upload a screenshot of the conversion rate used as a supporting document.

Only rates published on XE Currency Converter are accepted if the payment document does not show payment in SGD.
