DOE-TB: Final Printable Claim Form Again Available

Because some people failed to print the Textbook Reimbursement printable claim form for signatures, we have restored the printable version for those who completed the Textbook Reimbursement submission process (i.e., submitted the data and completed the online claim form table). Only the final printable form is available. No additional records or changes are being accepted in the Application Center.

DOE-TB: Collection Update!

Unfortunately we are unable to extend the Textbook Reimbursement (TB) submission deadline until tomorrow morning as we had hoped because the April 30 deadline is legally mandated. Therefore, the collection will end at midnight tonight as originally posted in the Supplemental TB Data Layout. We regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused.

Supplemental Textbook Reimbursement

The Supplemental Textbook Reimbursement collection period ends on Thursday morning, May 1, at 8:00 a.m. and then moves into the required signoff period.

If your student information system allows, you can submit all currently eligible students and the Application Center will accept only the STNs not submitted last fall. (For this collection, we have turned off the "too-many-consecutive-errors" that normally stops file processing, so the file will continue to process even if a string of students submitted in the fall are rejected.)

Please note that the "Retrieve Student Data" feature has caused some confusion because it has not been updated for this supplemental collection. The initial download available before current records are submitted consists of the same aged 2006-2007 data available at the beginning of the fall TB collection. Once you have submitted data, however, the download should consist of records submitted for the current (supplemental) collection. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
