			 first-time applicants shall complete an application which includes biographical
			 information regarding the deceased or disabled correctional officer (e.g.,
			 name, where employed, position title, date of death or disability, etc.) and

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
			 institution shall certify the applicant's award amount within the time frame
			 requested by ISAC, which shall be no sooner than 30 days unless a more rapid
			 response is necessary to expend appropriated funds prior to the end of the
			 academic year.
b) Institutional
			 Packaging of Assistance:
1) If the recipient
			 receives other assistance targeted specifically for tuition and fees, the
			 combined assistance shall not exceed the total tuition and fee expenses

2)
			 notwithstanding the provisions of other ISAC-administered programs, the total

			 and/or other gift assistance to prevent such an overaward; and
3) if the recipient is eligible for
			 assistance under MAP, the recipient may not be eligible for a full MAP grant
			 because the grant for Dependents of Correctional Officers must be factored into
			 the financial aid package prior to receiving MAP gift assistance. The
			 institution, however, may request a MAP grant to finance tuition and mandatory
			 fee expenses not paid by this program.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 2733 - ILLINOIS VETERAN GRANT (IVG) PROGRAM › Section 2733.40 - Institutional Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) If a
			 student is eligible for both an IVG and a Monetary Award Program (MAP) grant,
			 the IVG benefits must be used first. A student cannot decline IVG benefits in
			 favor of using MAP.
b) If a student
			 is eligible for, and has indicated to the institution the intent to receive
			 educational assistance through, the Post-9/11 GI Bill (38 U.S.C., Chapter 33),
			 the institution must first apply Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to the student's
			 financial aid award. IVG benefits can then be used to cover the remaining IVG
			 eligible tuition and mandatory fees.
c) A notice of eligibility from ISAC must be
			 used by the institution to establish a qualified applicant's initial
			 eligibility.
d) Institutions shall
			 submit a payment request to ISAC.
e) So that ISAC can accurately track the
			 recipient's use of eligibility units, institutions must report the total number
			 of hours (including credit and noncredit hours) for which payment is being
			 requested, even if IVG is paying only a portion of the charges for a course due
			 to a withdrawal.
f) ISAC will
			 annually establish priority claim dates for the submission of payment requests
			 and inform institutions of the required priority dates. For the summer term,
			 the priority claim date will be during the month of September; for the fall
			 term, the priority claim date will be during the month of December; for the
			 spring term, the priority claim date will be during the month of May.
g) The reimbursement to institutions for
			 Illinois Veteran Grants is contingent upon available funding. Should General
			 Assembly appropriations be insufficient to pay all claims, institutions will be
			 reimbursed in accordance with this subsection:
1) summer term claims received by the
			 deadline date designated in subsection (f) will be paid, or prorated if funding
			 is insufficient to pay all claims in full;
2) if funds remain after summer term claims
			 are paid, first semester and first quarter claims received by the designated
			 deadline date will be paid, or prorated if funding is insufficient to pay all
			 claims in full;
3) if funds remain
			 after first semester and first quarter claims are paid, then second
			 semester/second and third quarter claims received by the designated deadline
			 date will be paid, or prorated if funds remaining are insufficient to pay all
			 such claims in full;
4) if funds
			 remain after second semester/second and third quarter claims are paid, claims
			 received by ISAC after the designated deadline dates will be paid or prorated;
			 and
5) timely claims for the
			 difference between in-district/state and out-of-district/state tuition for
			 recipients who do not qualify for chargebacks will be considered for payment at
			 the same time, and in the same priority order, as all other timely claims, in
			 accordance with the provisions of this subsection (g).

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 2735 - MONETARY AWARD PROGRAM (MAP) › Section 2735.50 - Advance Payment Option

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) ISAC-approved
			 institutions of higher learning may request consideration for the advance
			 payment option. To be eligible, the institution must have received MAP payments
			 for each of the last five academic years, and ISAC must have completed an audit
			 of the institution's performance during that five year period. Institutions
			 with provisional eligibility shall not receive advance payments. (See 23 Ill.
			 Adm. Code
			 2700.30(i)(6).)
b) Subject to the availability of funds,
			 payments may be advanced on a term-by-term basis. If advanced, payments will be
			 made in an amount not to exceed 75 percent of a term's announced recipients,
			 adjusted for attrition as determined by subsection (c)(2). The formula by which
			 ISAC computes an institution's advance payment is illustrated in Appendix A of
			 this Part.
c) For purposes of
			 computing an institution's advance payment, ISAC uses the lowest retention rate
			 resulting from the following three formulae:
1) Dollar value of the previous fiscal year's
			 claimed awards divided by the dollar value of the previous fiscal year's
			 announced awards;
2) Number of
			 claimed awards for the previous fiscal year divided by the number of awards
			 announced during the previous fiscal year; or
3) Using the formula in subsection (c)(2),
			 compute the retention rate for the previous five fiscal years. Add the five
			 retention rates and divide by five to produce the five year average retention
			 rate.
