[Oasfaa] Pell Grant Eligibility

[Tammy C. Kasterke]

Happy Friday to everyone!  I have a situation which I have never experienced
before.  I have a student who's SAR, with a valid EFC, was received during
the fall semester; however it was selected for verification.  She is
currently enrolled in the spring semester and has finally supplied all of
the necessary documents to complete the verification process.  The
corrections made during the verification process have decreased her EFC,
therefore increasing her Pell Grant eligibility.  Here's my question.  Would
she be eligible for the increased Pell for both Fall and Spring semesters,
or would I have to use the higher EFC for the Pell award?   The Student
Financial Aid Handbook talks about the 90 day verification extension after a
student's last day of attendance and the fact that a SAR received during the
90 days can't be used to increase a student's Pell. However, she is
currently attending.

Any assistance I could get would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
