<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope all is going well with all of you this week! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to follow up on a question asked at the OASFAA conference during our session addressing the upcoming changes to the OTAG program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The question: If a student is technically Pell eligible at full-time but would not receive a disbursement of Pell because of less than full-time enrollment (dropping off the Pell chart), could the student be given an OTAG disbursement
during that payment period?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Answer: After a careful analysis of the administrative rules for the program, we need to let you know that a student in the above scenario would
<u>not</u> be eligible for an OTAG disbursement for that payment period. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A student needs to be receiving a Pell payment for the payment period in question to be eligible for an OTAG disbursement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be monitoring issues and outcomes, and we would appreciate your input on suggestions to make the program more efficient and effective.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take care! See you at our annual financial aid workshop on July 7<sup>th</sup>!<o:p></o:p></p>
