As of August 10, 2000 all reporting campuses should have received their Special RFMS Reconciliation File. Following are responses to some questions frequently asked our Pell Customer Service Staff about the Reconciliation tool: - The file does not contain students that were originated but not disbursed. - Students that were disbursed and who now have a $0.00 balance are included. - Schools with multiple attending campuses are receiving their records sorted by attending campus and then alphabetically by the student's last name. - Requests for an updated file can be made by sending an e-mail to the pell_systems@ed.gov with your Pell ID number, Institution name and the award year being requested. - An announcement concerning this file is on IFAP (www.ifap.ed.gov) under Recent Electronic Announcements.
