Now we’ll cover the tools and reports that assist in each step of the TEACH processing cycle.

## TEACH Grant Processing Cycle

**ATS**

**Disburse**
**& Fund**

**Reconcile**

**Originate**

**TEACH Grant Processing Cycle**

**Notes:**
Four steps, prom note (either get a new one or make sure one is open to link award to), origination, disbursement and reconciliation, first two steps are interchangeable and school choice, But all 4 steps must be performed each award year for each borrower for each loan.
Assuming that you are all intermediate users and that you are originating and disbursing using your software. We will not discuss creating new awards online since many school’s software cannot import web response for newly created web records. You should check with your software to see if you can import web responses for adjustments to existing records made online.

We’ll start with the prom note process.

## Agreement to Serve (ATS)

- TEACH Grant Agreement To Serve (ATS)
- Explains the service obligation that must be fulfilled,
- Explains the circumstances that will result in the TEACH Grant being converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan
- If the TEACH Grant is converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, explains the terms and conditions associated with repaying the loan

## Agreement to Serve (ATS)

- Only submitted electronically via the Agreement To Serve Web site.
**An ATS must be signed by the student before disbursing a TEACH grant.**
- An ATS must be accepted on the COD System in order to allow actual disbursements to be accepted on COD for associated grants.
**Same ATS may be used by multiple schools**

## ATS Web Site Options

**Notes:**
After logging in you are taken to a screen that provides these three choices
First we’ll look at the set up options.

Set up your school options
Search for electronic promissory notes
Change your password

## www.teach-ats.ed.gov

**Notes:**
We’ll look first at the eMPN site and process, keeping in mind that even if your school normally uses the eMPN, it must honor the request of any student wishing to use the paper MPN. 

You can remind people of the advantages of using the eMPN:
24/7 availability
Won’t get lost 
Less paper and saves postage
Less prone to error (edits built in)
Faster linking with award information 
Promissory note completion is convenient and confidential
Easily retrieved for viewing or printing by both the school and borrower
Reminder-  paper must be made available to those who request it

To get MPN website access for staff members, go to COD online and click on the link “If you are looking for more information...”., then choose the link for 

This is the eMPN website. Click on the link at lower left, the FAA log in.  Use this to set up access to the site for your school as well as how to view already completed eMPN’s

## COD: Person Menu

- Person
- ATS searches
- View and update TEACH Grant origination and disbursement data

**Notes:**
The dlenote website is not the only website that can assist you with the promissory note processing Step. 

COD can help you identify if a promissory note either paper or electronic has been completed and whether that promissory note is linked or unlinked with loan origination records. You can perform on line ‘instant’ credit checks (with the borrower’s written consent) or you can search to see the results of credit checks.
And last but not least you can view origination and disbursement data specifics.
First we’ll look at MPN search results

## Person: ATS/Promissory Note Search

**Notes:**
This is a two click screen!!!!
On the first part, discuss that there are three types of searches that you can do. By entering either the SSN or MPN ID you will be able to search for Pnotes whether they are linked or unlinked. Searching by last and first name will return search results only for linked notes and entering DOB and first two letters of first name will display only unlinked notes. HINT enter the SSN for best results

Second mouse click will bring up next screen shot which shows results of a SSN pnote search. By the way, you may notice large areas of white space we have covered privacy data for protection . We use these screens so we can show you real life situations that occur in COD
You can see for Sarah that she has 3 MPNs all with awards linked to them. The M in the middle of the MPN id indicates that it is a Sub/Unsub note which means that only sub and unsub loans will link to that pnote. The N indicates that it is a PLUS note. Remember it can be either a parent plus loan or a graduate student PLUS

## Person: Pending/Unlinked 

**Person: Pending/Unlinked **

**Notes:**
This is a two click screen
Let’s look at a promissory note that has no awards linked to it. You can see that it is still in a pending status and will be until a loan origination record is associated with this MPN. 
2nd click The pnote was completed electronically and note the expiration date is 07-18-2008, exactly one year from the date the pnote was received. Once an origination record has been linked to the MPN and a disbursement has been accepted then the MPN expiration date will change to 07-18-2017

What happens if no loans with actual disbursements are linked to this prom note in a year’s time? the pnote will be marked inactive  1 year from the date of receipt.

## Person: ATS with Linked Awards

- 22

- 16

**Person: ATS with Linked Awards**

**Notes:**
By clicking on the first MPN id we will see all of the loans that are linked to this particular note. She has 6 linked awards, the MPN was completed electronically and will expire on 08/14/2016. The MPN expiration date will be 10 years out if there are actual disbursements associated with any of the awards. 

(for presenters only – actually for the programmers that may ask – it is really 365 days not one year and 3650 days not 10 years – but for our presentation we will be saying 1 year and 10 years)

## ATS Linking

|  | Accepted? | On the COD System | Link? | Response |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| If ATS is submitted | Yes | Accepted TEACH Award | Yes | ATS AcknowledgementATS Status Code = A |
|  | Yes | No corresponding TEACH Award | No | ATS Acknowledgement
ATS Link Indicator = FATS Status Code = P |
|  |  |  |  |  |
| If TEACH Grant is submitted
 | Yes | Valid ATS | Yes | Award Response
ATS Status Code = A |
|  | Yes | No Valid ATS | No | Award Response
ATS Status Code = R |
|  | No | N/A | No | Award Response
ATS Link Indicator = F
ATS Status Code = R |

## TEACH Grant Initial and Subsequent Counseling

- Students are required to complete Initial Counseling before submitting an ATS
- 08-09 award year schools who choose to participate in TEACH Grant program must provide counseling to students
- Beginning with the 09-10 award year Initial and Subsequent Counseling will be completed via the ATS website

## TEACH Grant Processing Cycle

**ATS**

**Disburse**
**& Fund**

**Reconcile**

**Originate**

**TEACH Grant Processing Cycle**

**Notes:**
Ok, now that we have seen how we can use COD to help us with the Counseling/ATS process of TEACH Grant, lets move on to look at specific origination and disbursement data.

## Origination Processing Overview

- School confirms eligibility, awards, and disburses aid
- School creates student record
- Common Record or COD Web site
- School sends information to COD
- COD processes/edits and returns response
- Error correction, when necessary

## Origination Processing

- An eligible Citizenship Status is required to originate a TEACH Grant award on COD.
- Schools submit records via batch or via the COD Web site
- Must include person, award, and anticipated disbursement information
- The sum of the disbursements (anticipated and/or actual) to the Award Amount

**Notes:**
The COD System requires submission of all disbursement information when establishing a TEACH Grant award via the common record or COD Web site
The sum of the disbursement amounts must equal the award amount in order to originate the TEACH Grant award
The first six digits of the OPEID submitted in the Award ID match the first six digits of the OPEID of the Attended School
TEACH Grant Award IDs must be unique on the COD System

##  Origination Processing

- TEACH Grant awards must be created with correct information
- 21 character ID consisting of SSN, Award type, Award year, first six of the OPE ID, and  sequence number
- Xxxxx1234 H 09 012345 001
- A school may originate more than one TEACH Grant award for the same student within an award year

## Origination Processing

- The Award amount for a single Award cannot exceed $4,000
- The cumulative award amount for all TEACH Grant awards across all schools, across all grade levels, cannot exceed the maximum of $8000 for a single award year
- Student level code can span multiple award years

## Origination Processing

- No POP (Potential Over-award) process for TEACH Grants; disbursements will reject (similar to ACG, SMART and Direct Loan; not Pell)
- No automatic correction process for TEACH Grants; records will be rejected (similar to ACG, SMART and Direct Loan; not Pell)
- TEACH Grants that become loans will not apply to Direct Loan annual or aggregate loan limits

## TEACH Grant Edits

| Edit | Edit Type | Block | 
Description
 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 160 | R | Award | Disbursement information is incomplete or rejected, TEACH award is not accepted |
| 161 | R | Award | Attended School Entity ID is not TEACH  eligible |
| 162 | R | Award | Single TEACH award is greater than $4000.00 |

## TEACH Grant Edits

| Edit | Edit Type | Block | 
Description
 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 163 | R | Award | Cumulative TEACH award amount is greater than $8000.00 in an award year  |
| 164 | R | Award | Incorrect Teacher Expert Indicator: Teacher Expert flag set to 'true' with a Grade Level < 6  |
| 165 | R | Disbursement | Funded disbursement submitted on a TEACH award without a linked, active ATS  |

## Person: TEACH Grant Information 

**Person: TEACH Grant Information **

**Notes:**
After logging onto COD, click on the Person menu button in the top blue bar and enter in the borrower’s SSN.

## Person: TEACH Grant Information 

**Person: TEACH Grant Information **

**Notes:**
By selecting TEACH from the menu choices on the left we can choose to display either all of the borrowers TEACH grants that are in COD or just the grants for a specific year.  Notice from the year drop down box that the only years available are those in which the borrower has Direct Loan data in the COD system. In this case, 2003/04, 2006/07 and 2007/08.
Highlight the award id, consists of SSN of the student (differentiate from borrower – Plus loan will not have parent’s ssn in award id but if it is a grad plus loan then the student and borrower id will be the same), loan type indicator, schools G code and award sequence number, also look at award amount approved and disbursed.

## Person: Award Detail Information 

**Person: Award Detail Information **

**Notes:**
Clicking on the Award ID of the selected loan on the previous screen takes user to this award detail view which includes amounts approved/disbursed; loan period start and end dates; grade level; prom note and disclosure print options, booked date, fee, etc.

As noted earlier, we can use the Promissory Note link from here to view information on this borrower’s MPN data.

We’ll look at the disbursements link shortly. 

## TEACH Grant Processing Cycle

**ATS**

**Disburse & Fund**

**Reconcile**

**Originate**

**TEACH Grant Processing Cycle**

**Notes:**
We’ll look next at the disbursement step and the relevant screens.

## TEACH Grant Funding Basics

- Funding based on actual disbursements
- 7 day rule
- Records submitted up to 7 days in advance of disbursement date can trigger change in funding
- Cash Management Regulations
- 30 day reporting requirement
- 3 -Day cash rule
- Monthly reconciliation

## Processing Disbursements

- Disbursement data
- Anticipated vs. Actual
- Disbursement date
- Disbursement amount

## Person/Award: Disbursements

**Person/Award: Disbursements**

**Notes:**
Before we discuss the disbursements let’s talk a little about navigation. The menu choice highlighted in the Blue bar is Award, but we actually navigated to this screen within COD by going through Person. To navigate in the award menu you have to type in accurately the entire 21 character award ID. Not a choice many people make. But you can always easily reach award information through the Person menu selection. Also notice what we call “bread crumbing” will help you return to previous screens—these are the words in brown font at the top of the page to the right of “Return to:”  For instance from this Disbursements screen we can return in order to Award Detail, Direct Loan Awards, Person Detail—or jump directly to Person Detail and skip the intervening screens we used to reach this page. 

This screen displays totals for amount disbursed and totals for fees as well as the net amount received by the school.
It also displays summary information for each disbursement. Notice for disbursement 2 that the disbursement date was 1-1-2007 for the net amount of $2709 and the status is disbursed. If we want to see more information about this disbursement, we can click on the #2 (notice it is a hyperlink)

## Person/Award: Disbursement Detail

**Person/Award: Disbursement Detail**

**Notes:**
Additional information for Disbursement #2 displayed here is: the date that COD processed the disbursement as well as the sequence number. If a disbursement has a sequence number higher than 1, you might want to click on the history menu selection on the left hand side to see other sequence actions for this disbursement number. 

## Person/Award: Disbursement History

**Notes:**
This screen displays all of the events or actions taken for a particular disbursement. Let’s look at the history or “sequence” of events for Disbursement 1
Disb 1 seq 1 On 7-12-2007, the school sent in a net disbursement for $4207.00 with a disbursement date of 7/12/07 and Cod responded 7/12/07. Since the disbursement already had an accepted promissory note and origination record on file, disb 1 seq 1 booked the loan and you can see the booked date on the right hand side.
The next action taken by the school, Disb 1, seq 2, was sent to COD on 7-18-07. The school reduced the disbursement amount by $4186. Notice two things, 1 the disbursement date remains the same and two, although the school would have sent in the positive net amount disbursed or the replacement value for that disbursement (in this case, $21) the COD system displays how much the disbursement was reduced by.
The final action taken by the school occurred on the same day, 7-18-07, Disb 1, Seq 3, where they zeroed out the disbursement. The school would have sent to COD Disb 1 Seq 3 $0
The disbursement history screen is an invaluable tool in researching the sequence of events taken with a particular disbursement and to confirm that it reflects accurately the steps your school performed with this account.
Why did the booking date change? (for trainer information also) answer on “the books”
Another type of research you can perform is identifying edit code rejects on origination and disbursement records through the Batch menu.

## Pending Disbursement Listing

- What –Pending disbursements for that period
- When – Weekly
- Where – SAIG or COD Web
- Why – Identify disbursements to be used in funding calculations

## TEACH Grant Processing Cycle

**ATS**

**Disburse**
**& Fund**

**Reconcile**

**Originate**

**TEACH Grant Processing Cycle**

## TEACH Grant Reconciliation

- Monthly Reconciliation
- Compare school records with the COD records to identify and resolve outstanding discrepancies

## COD: School Menu

**COD: School Menu**

**Notes:**
The school summary menu is a great snapshot of your school’s current cash by program and award year. You will want to pay special attention to any dollar volume populating the first line- Cash >Accepted and Posted Disbursements and older than 30 days. If there is a positive value there you are out of compliance with the 30 reporting requirement!!!

The other cash >accepted and posted disbursements shows funds drawn from Gaps within the past 30 days and no disbursements have been accepted by COD yet to “substantiate” those funds. Substantiation is a fancy word for telling federal student aid who received the money.

Please make sure contact information is updated!!!

## School: Cash Activity

**Notes:**
The Cash Activity screen is a really useful reconciliation tool. You can view program and award year data by changing the selection in either or both drop down boxes.
At the far right notice the scroll bars. You can scroll to the right horizontally to see all of your draw downs and whether or not the funds have been completely substantiated (accounted for) OR, You can choose printer friendly right above that box and all of your cash drawdowns will be displayed vertically and you can print a similar report from GAPs and compare them side by side if you need to resolve cash discrepancies.

Use this to check if drawdowns have been made by your business office

Additional information if time permits to share – You can track your 30 day reporting requirement – notice the funds drawn down on 7/18/07 ($215,000) No disbursements have been received to substantiate those funds. It has been 1 day since the school drew the money and didn’t report the disbursement (or get disbursements accepted) and they have 29 days left for on time reporting.
Also may want to mention FIFO – first in first out accounting principle. I May send in disbursement records to substantiate the 7/19 draw of $165, 000 but if I have not sent in disbursement records to substantiate the 7/18 draw then the system will apply the disbursement amount to the first in cash draw and will substantiate $165,000 of the $215,000 requested on 7/18

This is updated as of the previous night processing – just an fyi for the presenter – school may want to use a combination of this screen and funding info if there is a discrepancy

***Note – Closeout Correspondence and Closeout Process will be implemented with Release 8.0.

## School: SAS Options

- 42

**Notes:**
SAS is run once at the end of the month. If you change options they wlll apply to the next regularly scheduled run.

Please refer to DL tools of the trade handout (the following is for trainer information and depending on time may or may not be used)Believe me you will not have time to mention the data below
SAS Options:
o       Report Format (Fixed Length*, Comma-Delimited, Comma-Delimited With Headers, Pipe-Delimited) – This determines which format will be used to generate the report for your school.  NOTE: If you plan to use DL Tools to format your report and/or run a comparison to school records, you must select Fixed Length.
o       Include Names of Borrowers (Yes/No*)–.  This option is available for all formats EXCEPT Fixed Length, Disbursement Detail (Monthly or YTD).
o       Report Activity Type (Monthly*, Year-to-Date, Both) – This option will determine whether your school receives Monthly, YTD, or both Monthly and YTD Cash Detail in your SAS Report(s).  It will also determine the level of detail you can choose to receive in the Disbursement and Loan Level Detail sections of the report (these options are set separately, since disbursement/loan detail is optional for schools to receive).  NOTE:  1) If you choose both, your school will receive at least two separate SAS reports each month – one with Monthly detail, and one with YTD detail.  2) If you wish to use the DL Tools software to compare the SAS to your internal school records each month, you must receive YTD detail on the SAS report.
o       Sections of SAS to Receive:
o       Summary by Loan Type (Yes*/No) – This refers to the Disbursement Summary by Loan Type section of the SAS report.  Many schools find this information useful in determining loan volumes disbursed by each loan type (Sub, Unsub, PLUS, or Totals).
o       Disbursement Detail (Yes*/No for Monthly and/or YTD, based on the Report Activity Type chosen above.) - This section of the SAS provides transaction-level detail of all disbursements and adjustments accepted or booked during the reported period.  
o       Loan Level (optional) – (Yes*/No for YTD only.  If you choose Report Activity Type Monthly, you will not be able to receive Loan Level Detail and this field will display “N/A.”)  This section of the SAS provides total disbursed amounts for each loan that was accepted and/or booked on COD for the program year-to-date.  This section of the SAS is not available for a monthly period.

## COD Reporting Website

**Notes:**
If we need to identify which loans remain in unbooked status, as well as which MPN’s are not yet linked to an origination record we can use reports available at COD to assist.

From the services menu you can choose to look at COD reports by clicking the hyperlink in the middle of the screen or pass through to the Direct Loan servicing web page by clicking direct loan servicing to the left. The COD web site serves as a portal for servicing, one log in works for both sites.

First we’ll  click on the cod reports hyperlink.  Then we will move to the servicing site to look at what is available there

## Grants Newsbox

**Grants Newsbox**

**Notes:**
This takes us to the school’s newsbox. On the left hand side of the screen you can clidk on either PL for PELL or DL for Direct loan to access the newsbox for that program containing your school’s reports.
(the numbers before PL and DL are the school’s cod id) We have selected the DL newsbox

Notice all of the reports by award year available to view or download. If you click on the name of the report you will be taken to the current version of that report. If you click on the word actions right below the report title you are taken to a screen that allows you to choose between current and previous versions as well as the way you want the report to appear, ie, comma delimited, pdf, etc.
Let’s look at a pdf version of the 30 day warning report

NOTE: if you are having trouble getting to this screen you may have pop up blockers turned on. Turn them off  and you will be able to access reports. If you still cannot access please call customer service for assistance

## Inactive Grants Report

**Notes:**
Another report available from COD is the Inactive loan report which can be used to identify inactive loans that should be active or vice versa.

## Locating TEACH Grant Information 

- _[http://IFAP.ed.gov](http://ifap.ed.gov/)_
- Tools for Schools
- COD CBT
- EDExpress WBT
- Letters and Bulletins
- TEACH Grant Bulletins
- Publications
- COD technical reference

**Notes:**
To assist you in locating Direct Loan information we have provided you with another handout. Please refer to Using IFAP to locate Direct loan information.
On the next two slide we have listed tools for you by IFAP area. First look at the resources available in the Tools for Schools section.
An updated COD CBT was posted on IFAP recently (end of Sept beginning of Oct) This is a downloaded self paced 8 lesson training tool to help you learn how to use the COD website in processing Grants and Loans.
The next tool we want to highlight is specifically for EDExpress users and it has an excellent lesson on processing Direct Loans if your institution software provider is EDExpress. This is a web based product that you do not download but use right on the web.
Last in the Tools for Schools section is “listserves” Please make sure you have signed up for the Direct loan/ COD listserve. This is the method that Direct Loan operations and COD customer services uses to directly communicate important information with Direct Loan schools. This is not an interactive list serve but just one used to push important communications to the Direct loan community.

Direct Loan bulletins are posted by award year and order of posting here.

## TEACH Grant Assistance

- COD customer service
- 1.800.848.0978
