an adjustment to previously reported

student Payment Data or expected

Request for administrative relief based

on an administrative error by the Department or departmental contractors.

U.S. Department of Education, Institutional Financial Management, Division, AFMS, P.O. Box 23791, Washington, DC 20026–0791.February 1, 2000.

1The deadline for submitting electronic transactions is prior to 7:00 pm (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions must be completed

and accepted by 7:00 pm to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 7:00 pm but are not completed until after 7:00 pm, those

transmissions will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission picked up on the deadline date that gets rejected may not be able to be

reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or her of the rejected transmission. 2Although the Department has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if corrections to the SAR or ISIR are required, the above deadline dates for submission of paper or electronic corrections still must be met. 3For those students completing verification while no longer enrolled, the institution must have already received a SAR or ISIR with an eligible

Expected Family Contribution (EFC) while the student was enrolled and eligible for payment. These students will be paid based on the higher of

the two EFCs. 4The 1998–99 award year is the last year the Department will accept Disk Operating System (DOS) floppy diskette or DOS electronic submissions. 5An institution that transmits its student Payment Data information must ensure that its transmission is completed before midnight (local time at

the institution’s EDE destination point) on September 30, 1999. 6Year-to-date or SPS data files may be requested after this date. However, there may not be sufficient time for institutions to receive the file,

create a payment data batch, and submit it to the Department by the September 30, 1999 deadline date for receipt of all 1998–99 requests for

payment.
