[Oasfaa] 2014-2015 Spring Only OTAG Awards

[Magee, Irala]

With Fall 2014 OTAG disbursement activity now finalized by most institutions, we have identified uncommitted funds that will accommodate the extension of the FAFSA receipt date cutoff for OTAG awards for Spring 2015 to 4/5/2014.  ONLY SPRING SEMESTER FUNDS CAN BE CLAIMED using this extended cutoff.
Pre-populated Award Claim Forms generated by OTAG for Spring 2015 will include:

     *   students who were awarded and disbursed in Fall 2014
     *   students who were awarded and subsequently cancelled in Fall 2014, unless they were cancelled due to a change in EFC greater than 1700
     *   students with award potential who were not awarded in fall but could be awarded in spring -- this group includes students with FAFSA receipt dates from 1-1-14 through 4/5/14 and EFCs of 1700 or lower.
Students included in an Excel pre-populated Award Claim Form for spring will be sorted in the following order:

     *   Awarded
     *   Cancelled
     *   Pending
On the Excel spreadsheet Award Claim Form this status will be displayed in Column J.  On the Text Award Claim Form the status will be displayed in Field #11, Position 71.
As in fall Award Claim Form reporting, institutions using the pre-populated form will need to delete information for students who should not be paid in spring (even if they were paid in fall) and edit the information as appropriate (FT/PT, over awards, etc.) for the students to be paid in spring. More detailed instructions will accompany the spring pre-populated or blank template reports.
If you would like to receive a "work copy" pre-populated Award Claim Form to assist you in identifying additional students who can be awarded in spring, please send a request to reports at otag.org.
Please contact our office at 405.225.9456 or toll free 800.858.1840 or send e-mail to reports at otag.org if you have questions or require more information regarding spring OTAG awarding and disbursement processes.
We wish you all Happy Holidays!
