Subject: 2nd Notice-June 18 is the Last Chance to Submit Part B Payment Requests for FY09

Intended Audience: Special Education Directors, Financial Administrators, Superintendents
Date: June 17, 2009
Part B June Payment - Since the Part B FER cannot be completed and submitted, the Division is allowing districts to submit a final EPEGS payment request for the remaining Part B funds that have been expended or will be expended by June 30. Districts must have the payment request submitted by today, June 18 to receive their FY09 Part B funds in this fiscal year. This means districts do not have to wait to submit their FER as in the past to claim these funds. However, it is crucial that the district's request be the amount already expended or to be expended by June 30. These funds will be paid in a second June school payment.
Part B Final Expenditure Report (FER) - The Part B Final Expenditure Report (FER) is taking longer than anticipated to test and make available to districts. At this time, the FER for Part B Funds is expected to be available for entry around July 1 and due to DESE July 30.
We are sorry for any inconvenience, but wanted districts to be able to access their remaining Part B funds without having the stress of submitting an FER within a limited amount of time. Please call the Funds Management section with questions at (573) 751-0622.
