Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The award belongs to a different enrollment from the one being reviewed. Resolve the link before approving the application.
  • Staff interpret the same eligibility wording differently. Agree the criterion and evidence needed before making the amount decision.
  • A number above the stated maximum is entered without an explanation. Apply the agreed amount rule and resolve the exception before approval.
