Danish term or phrase: hjemsøger
Vi hjemsøger eventuelle lønrefusioner for kursus, uddannelse og efteruddannelsesforløb.

Explanation:
The prefix of hjem- literally in DAN & NOR connotes re-, such as hjemfall in the first example sentence: reversion to a previous state of affairs, to a reversioner (superior landlord or -lady) or the state.
