| PublicationDate: 8/17/2000 Summary: Delays in Pell Statements of Account Author: General Manager: SFA School Channel Posted 0n August 17, 2000 TO: All Destination Points FROM: Pell Grant Processing RE: Delays in Pell Statements of Account Due to an increase in the volume of data received and the running of the programs associated with the Second Administrative Cost Allowance Payment for 1999-2000, RFMS has been experiencing delays in transmitting financial data to the GAPS (Grant Administration and Payment System). Pell/RFMS is working to minimize delays and complete processing on any delayed transmissions to GAPS as quickly as possible. RFMS processing of Originations, Disbursements and Data Requests have not been effected. Effected schools should receive their Statements of Account within the next day or two. RFMS appreciates your patience and understanding at this time. RFMS will begin to run the programs associated with the Verification W deobligation for 1999-2000 in the near future. While we will work to minimize all possible delays, this too may create a slowing of normal daily transmissions of financial data from RFMS to GAPS. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please contact Pell Grant Customer Service at 800-4PGRANT (800-474-7268) or by e-mail at pell_systems@ed.gov. |
