Oklahoma's Promise sent out a mass communication to all college-age OKPromise students this past Friday evening through phone calls, text messages and email. The communication is providing information to the students regarding the changes to the program as a result of the 2017 legislative session. Information is available on our website at www.okpromise.org regarding the changes. However this particular message emphasized the increased frequency of checking the second income limit beginning next year. As you know, beginning in 2018-19, the second income limit will be applied EACH year to ALL OKPromise students enrolled in postsecondary education, not just incoming freshmen. With the upcoming 2018-19 FAFSA opening, we are trying to notify students that in order to remain eligible for OKPromise, they will be required to file the FAFSA every year! Many of you already encourage or require your students to file the FAFSA. Please help us spread the word that it will be required for ALL OKPromise students beginning in 2018-19. This message is going out to around 25,000 students statewide broken up into two groups (the first went out on Friday, the second will go out in a couple of days). I have attached the message for your information. Please keep in mind that our contact information for the students may not be as up to date as yours, so if you could also share the information with your students, it would be greatly appreciated.

The legislative members need to hear from the schools especially the Government Affairs and President’s Offices .We need your help! [cid:image001.jpg at 01D335F6.AFA30600] 2-Year Extension for Perkins - Requires 2 Critical Actions for Schools As you are aware, the Federal Perkins Loan Program is scheduled to expire September 30, 2017. As was the case in 2015, there is another opportunity for Congress to pass an extension so that the future of Perkins can be considered during the HEA reauthorization. Two years ago, our success resulted from the hard work of the higher education community, and this year’s extension can only be achieved if we have your continued demonstration of support. COHEAO is very optimistic that Perkins will receive a 2-year extension by the end of the year, but not likely before the expiration. Our TOP PRIORITIES are to add cosponsors to the recently introduced Senate Bill S.1808 and continue to garner support for the House Bill H.R.2482, which currently has 200 Cosponsors! There are critical actions outlined below that schools must follow to ensure our best chance for success: 1.) Award & Disburse as much of your Perkins funds as you can by September 30th: - All eligible students can receive a Perkins Loan for AY 2017-18 even if the program expires on 9/30/17, as long as the first disbursement is made by 9/30/17. Eligible students can receive their Perkins awards through 6/30/18. To ensure eligibility, make sure students complete their loan documents and are disbursed by 9/30/17. - Lend ALL available Perkins Loan funds in the 2017-2018 academic year to prevent EXCESS CASH. (Increase award amounts – including second disbursements, package for financial aid appeals, etc.) - The fight for Perkins is far from over. Do not liquidate your Perkins Loan fund. Your students will lose access to low-cost, subsidized loans and your institution will not be able to recoup its investment of Institutional Capital Contributions (ICC). Schools that liquidate their portfolios will also lose any hope for reimbursement of its institutional share of cancelled loan funds. 2.) Continue your efforts as an Advocate for Perkins: - It is critical that our Congressional leadership hears from you, your students and most importantly, your institution’s top leadership. Please reach out to your government affairs staff and upper administration and communicate how important this program is to your students and ask them to get involved. Calls and letters from students and college presidents are what led to the Perkins Loan Extension Act of 2015. - Participate in a call with your Congressional Member. COHEAO is in the process of organizing advocacy groups to participate in calls with their respective Congressional members. If you would like to participate, you can get more info and sign up here. - Encourage your student organizations to contact your Congressional Representatives in both the House and Senate with stories of how Perkins has helped them pursue their education. Testimonials can be entered online here and will be shared with Congress. - For more information, visit COHEAO’s Perkins Advocacy Page. Your support is critical to this extension process and we thank you in advance for your efforts to save this valuable program!

The tricky thing is sometimes how to document their losses. I have done this a few times at my former school and usually there was some job loss or interruption which could be counted as income loss and after a few weeks they could get me something from the insurance agency as to what the material losses to property were. I had a couple families who did not have insurance and so they were able to get something from a disaster relief organization which at least estimated their losses. Right now I can;t remember if it was FEMA or a more local agency, but I would take documentation from either. Hope this helps!
