[Oasfaa] Spring 2009 OTAG Awards

[Joyner, Shiela]

With Fall 2008 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 2009 to 6/20/08.  ONLY SPRING SEMESTER FUNDS CAN BE CLAIMED using
this extended cutoff. 
Pre-populated Award Claim Forms generated by OTAG for Spring 2009 will
include: 
*	students who were awarded and disbursed in Fall 2008 
*	students who were awarded and subsequently cancelled in Fall
2008, 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 1-1-08 through 6/20/08 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 FTP 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 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, overawards, 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 877.662.6231 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!
