Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3301 - Department of Education - Administration and Director › Chapter 3301-101 - Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program › Section 3301-101-10 - Payment of scholarship amounts

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Payment of scholarship amounts
			 will
								 be mailed to the address or made through
			 electronic funds transfer using the information provided by the provider.
			 Eligible applicants that authorize payment be made solely to the provider may
			 revoke their authorization at any time by notifying the department and the
			 provider in writing.
(B) The actual amount
			 of each scholarship will be the lesser of the applicable net fees or
			 tuition charged by the provider, or the maximum amount of the scholarship. The
			 net fees or tuition will be the fees or tuition amount specified by the
			 provider minus all other financial aid, discounts and adjustments received for
			 the student. In cases where discounts are offered for multiple students from
			 the same family, and not all students in the same family are scholarship
			 recipients, the scholarship amount will be the
			 lowest tuition to which the family is entitled.
(C) The scholarship
			 amount will be proportionately reduced in the case of any
			 scholarship recipient who is not enrolled in the scholarship program and/or
			 attending, participating and receiving special education and related services
			 from an alternative public provider or a registered private provider for the
			 entire school year.
(D) In the case where a
			 child transfers during the course of the school year to another registered
			 provider or participating alternative provider with a different tuition, the
			 department will prorate the amounts paid to each provider based
			 on the period of attendance at each provider.
(E) In cases in which
			 an overpayment is made on behalf of a participating student, the department
			 will
			 inform the provider of the amount of the overpayment, and the provider
			 will
			 refund the amount to the department. In the event that payment has been made
			 for services that were not provided to a child by that provider, that portion
			 of the scholarship paid to that provider will be
			 revoked.
(F) In cases in which a
			 student withdraws or is expelled from a provider, or when a student's
			 eligibility to continue to receive a scholarship is terminated pursuant to
			  rule
			 3301-101-08 of the
			 Administrative Code, payment of the scholarship amount
			 will be
			 prorated based on the number of days the student was enrolled with the provider
			 or the services actually provided. Funded enrollment would end as of the last
			 day of the student's attendance, or the effective date of the student's
			 termination, whichever is earlier.
(G) Invoices for
			 payment for each scholarship will identify each credentialed employee providing the
			 service(s), an itemized list of services provided by the credentialed employee,
			 and the amount of the service.
(H) No scholarship
			 funds will be expended for services the child received prior
			 to the start date of the scholarship,
								services
			 prior to placement of the child with an alternative public provider or
			 registered provider,and service provided by a person
			 who does not hold a credential described in section
			 3310.58 of the Revised
			 Code.
