maybe not. generally, your "contract" give you a right to
reimbursement until the statute of limitations expires (and
the statute may be longer than 14 months). plus, some state
laws require expenses to be reimbursed.

so, even if inconvenient to your ex-employer, they may
contractually (or by statute) owe you the reimbursement.

so: now you're a creditor! good luck collecting!
