Federal Pell Grant Program
3
Pell - LEU LEU – Lifetime Eligibility Used Reduces the duration of a student’s eligibility
to receive Pell Grant to 12 semesters (600% - 6 full Scheduled Awards)
Applies to all students effective with the 2012-13 award year.
Calculation includes all earlier years of the student’s receipt of Pell NO “grandfather” clause
4
Pell - LEU Calculate the equivalency by adding together
each of the annual percentages of a student’s scheduled award that was actually disbursed to the student. Once LEU reaches 600%, student no
longer eligible for Pell May impact FSEOG eligibility
If LEU more than 500% but less than 600%, partial eligibility for next award year
5
Pell - LEUEA posted on February 17, April 6, June 29 Beginning in July 2012 –
NSLDS will display student’s LEU CPS will use comment codes on ISIRs/SARs to
flag students LEU is almost/exceeds 600%. New COD Pell LEU History page
COD is the system of record for LEUs If report a disbursement but don’t disburse or don’t
disburse in full, MUST adjust (more important now than ever due to the 600% limit) Report adjustments within 30 days (8/13/12 EA)
6
Pell - LEU
• If less than 100% eligibility remaining, handle award like a transfer student
• Pay up to full amount allowed in first payment period/term
• Pay remaining balance in subsequent payment periods
• Do NOT spread out percentage evenly over remaining periods
• May round cents but cannot exceed 600%
7
Pell – LEU (Example)Student’s annual Pell award is $4800 (100%) • Student’s current LEU is 523.867% of 600%• Student has 76.133% LEU remaining
• Do not round percentages• 76.133% of the student’s annual award is $3654.384Disburse 50% of annual award ($4800) 1st term = $2400(assuming full-time student)Disburse remainder of annual award in second term, up to the remainder of their LEU = $1254.384 (26.133%)• May round the dollar amount down to $1254 (26.125%), or
award the cents $1254.38 (26.133%)
8
Declining Pell - GEN-12-18• Students can decline all or part of their Pell Grant
awards or return some previously received Pell Grant funds to preserve future Pell Grant eligibility• Student may not return any Pell Grant funds from a prior award year (must take place in same award year)
• Student must provide a signed, written statement clearly indicating that they are declining/returning Pell funds for which they are otherwise eligible and that those funds may not be available once the award year is over
• School must submit any required adjustment records for the student to the COD System
Federal Register – May 2, 2012 Removed regulations pertaining to a 2nd scheduled Pell
Grant (2 Pells in one award year) Crossover Payment Period (period in 2 award years)
Removed requirement to compare ISIRs from both award years and pay from the year with the higher payment
The school will determine which award year the payment period will be placed (34 CFR 690.64) Ability to meet need’s of the student and maximize eligibility
The entire payment period must be considered in ONE award year and the entire disbursement must be paid out of the award year in which it was placed
Effective May 2, 20129
10
Direct Loans
GEN-11-16
11
Graduate Students Subsidized Loans eliminated for Graduate Students
Effective for loans made for loan periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.
Subsidized Loans for loan periods beginning before July 1, 2012 remain unchanged
COD will edit for changes. Annual limits unchanged, all unsubsidized ($20,500) Students still eligible for subsidized loans for
preparatory coursework and teacher certification programs
12
Upfront Rebates Elimination of Direct Loan Incentives
Terminates repayment incentives (“upfront rebate”) to encourage on-time repayment of loans
Effective for loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2012 COD will edit for compliance An actual disbursement takes precedence over
an anticipated disbursement Still allows interest rate reduction to borrowers who
repay electronically
13
Grace Period Interest Subsidy Temporarily eliminates the interest
subsidy on Direct Subsidized Loans during the six month grace period
Applies to new Direct Stafford Loans for which the first disbursement is made on or after July 1, 2012, and before July 1, 2014
Interest Rates and Sub Eligibility 3.4% interest rates for subsidized loans
disbursed on or after 7/1/12 & before 7/1/13 New Subsidized limits: New borrowers on or after July 1, 2013 will be
eligible for Subsidized Loans up to 150% of published program length
Once 150% limit reached, ineligible for interest subsidy benefits on all subsidized loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2013
More guidance coming!
14 EA dated 7/10/12
Aggregate Loan LimitsIf a dependent student’s parent is denied a PLUS, the
dependent student can borrow up to the annual independent student loan levels.
• Amounts able to borrow because considered an independent student does not count against dependent aggregate loan limits
• Amounts able to borrow as dependent student (i.e. 1st year dependent student can borrow $3500 – base sub/unsub and $2000 additional unsub) would still count against dependent aggregate loan limits.
• Undergrads can never exceed overall total aggregate of $57,500
15
16
Campus-Based Programs
Awarding FSEOG• Pell Grant recipients with lowest EFCs
• Known as FSEOG first selection group• Not necessary to receive a Pell Grant in the same payment
period as FSEOG • Must be received in same award year• Example: student only receives Pell Grant in Fall due to reaching Pell LEU
• Not receiving Pell Grant with lowest EFCs• Known as FSEOG second selection group• May be selected after all Pell recipients have been awarded
• Includes students who exceed Pell LEU for entire award year
17
Perkins: Liquidation and Assignment• Updated procedures in August 5, 2011 EA
• Contains details on liquidation & assignment procedures
• Updated procedures coming soon!
• Liquidation of portfolio required when:• School voluntarily withdraws from program• School no longer advancing loans to students• School participation is terminated by ED
Disbursing FWS Wages• Crossover Payment Periods
• Compensation earned through June 30 is paid with funds allocated for first award year
• Compensation earned starting July 1 is paid with funds allocated for the following year
• FWS students may be paid overtime in accordance w/applicable labor rules
• Students may earn academic credit and FWS compensation but may not be:• Paid less than if no credit were given• Paid for time receiving instruction• Paid unless employer often pays nonFWS person for same job
19
CB Use of Funds - Tips• Are we avoiding penalty for underuse of
funds?• Do not request more funding than can be used• Transfer funds to FSEOG/FWS• Carry-forward; carry-back• Taking Campus-Based ACA as appropriate• Up to 10% or $75,000 of FWS allocation may be used for job location and development under the JLD program
20
Common FISAP Errors• Failure to make required revisions
• Impacts tentative and final awards• Annual funding may be reduced in G5 by ED• No reinstatement of funds for reporting errors• December 15 deadline date to make revisions
• After December 15, revisions must be requested through CB program staff
• School does not coordinate with other offices on campus in collecting/reconciling info.
21
G5 Issues• CB funds transferred from one program to another
must be entered in G5 as an expenditure against the program from which they were transferred.
• FWS or FSEOG funds carried forward or back must be entered in G5 as an expenditure against the authorization for the award year from which they were taken
• Do not attempt to transfer CB funds in G5• A June 28, 2012 Electronic Announcement explains that
schools are no longer able to systematically transfer funds between programs, schools or award years.

Ability-to-Benefit
24
Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) Eliminates Title IV eligibility for students without a
high school diploma (or equivalent) Recognized equivalent of a HSD includes:
GED State certificate passing State authorized exam State considers
same as HSD Academic transcript of successful completion of at least a 2-
year program acceptable for full credit toward a Bachelor’s degree

Repeat Coursework
28
Graduate Programs
At this time graduate schools may continue to follow our written guidance on the program integrity website which states that the repeat coursework regulations only apply to undergraduates
Repeat coursework and graduate programs is currently under review
Stay tuned to IFAP
29
SAP
• Evaluation “at end of payment period”• Schools have 3 options
1) At the point when the student’s scheduled clock hours for the payment period have elapsed, regardless of whether the student attended them; or 2) At the point when the student has attended the scheduled clock hours; or 3) At the point when the student successfully completes the scheduled clock hours for that payment period
30
SAP – Clock Hours
School must establish one review option for a program; cannot start with one option and then after
the first review, switch to a different
option for that cohort of students.
Background - • 1200 clock hour program, 40 weeks• Payment periods – 450 hrs/15wks; 450/15; 300/10• Student scheduled 30 hours per week• Max timeframe is 150% of 40 weeks = 60 weeks• 67% completion rate to measure pace • Evaluate SAP each payment period
31
SAP – Pace Calculation Example
Program Integrity Q & A website – SAP Question R-Q9http://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/hearulemaking/2009/integrity-qa.html
Option #1 – Scheduled hours• At 450 scheduled hours, completed 300 hours• 300/450 = 67% or, as expressed in calendar time, 10
weeks/15 weeks = 67%. • Both items checked according to max timeframe
• Standard rounding is allowed • Student is making SAP but not eligible for 2nd
disbursement until successfully completes 450 hours and 15 weeks of instructional time.
• Next SAP review is at 900 scheduled hours
32
SAP – Pace Calculation Example
Option #2 – Attended hours• At 450 attended hours, 600 scheduled hours elapsed• 450/600 = 75% or, as expressed in calendar time, 15
weeks/20 weeks = 75%. • Both items checked according to max timeframe
• Standard rounding is allowed • Student is making SAP but not eligible for 2nd
disbursement until successfully completes 450 hours and 15 weeks of instructional time.
• Next SAP review is at 900 attended hours
33
SAP – Pace Calculation Example
Option #3 – Successfully completed hours• At 450 successfully completed hours, 600 scheduled hours
elapsed• 450/600 = 75% or, as expressed in calendar time, 15
weeks/20 weeks = 75%. • Both items checked according to max timeframe
• Standard rounding is allowed • Because student has successfully completed both the
hours and the weeks in the payment period, the second disbursement could be made at this time
• Next review is at 900 successfully completed hours
