| PublicationDate: 9/14/99 Summary: Tip of the Week: Viewing Rejected Pell Disbursements Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) Posted on September 14, 1999 TO: All Destination Points FROM: CPS Customer Service RE: Tip of the Week: Viewing Rejected Pell Disbursements This week's tip highlights a feature in 1999-2000 EDExpress: Viewing Rejected Pell Disbursements When individual student Pell Disbursement records are rejected by the Pell processor, schools receive reject information back in a PGDA00OP or PGSD00OP message class (for Regular or Special Disbursements, respectively). Importing disbursement acknowledgement files into 1999-2000 EDExpress will update the disbursement reject comment codes, which can be accessed via View/Processed Edits/Comments on the Pell Grant tab. Individual rejected disbursements are also updated to an RFMS Status and Disbursement Status of "E" (Error - Rejected). Please note as well when a Pell Disbursement record is rejected, the Pell processor sends back a Disbursement Year-to-Date (YTD) value of zero, which will be displayed on the Pell Disbursement screen. This does NOT indicate that all previously accepted Pell Disbursement amounts have been voided on the processor's system. To determine the current YTD total of accepted Pell Disbursements for a particular student, you should view the YTD amount of the LAST accepted Pell Disbursement for that student. We recommend you resubmit rejected Pell Disbursement records before submitting new Pell Disbursement records. To resubmit a rejected Pell Disbursement record, update the rejected record to the appropriate amounts and data on the Pell Disbursement screen. If the corrected Pell Disbursement passes all software edits, the Pell Disbursement status will change from an "E" (Error) to an "R" (ready to export) Disbursement Status, and you can then export the record appropriately for reprocessing. If you have any questions regarding Pell functionality in EDExpress, please contact CPS Customer Service at 800-330-5947, option 4, or via email at CPS@NCS.COM. If you have questions regarding specific Pell data (processed or rejected) or Pell policy, please contact Pell User Support at 800-474-7268. |
