“An overpayment occurs when the student receives more aid than he or she was eligible to receive. One kind of overpayment, traditionally called an overaward, results from changes in the student’s aid package.” --FSA Handbook 2008-2009

“An overpayment exists whenever a student receives aid that exceeds his or her eligibility for a Title IV program.”
5
“An overaward is created when the student’s aid package exceeds the student’s need.”

Never adjusted to resolve an overaward
11
There is no threshold or tolerance May not exceed cost of attendance, when combined with EFC and EFA Must be reduced or repaid

$300 NEED Tolerance/Threshold May be applied only AFTER aid has been packaged Required to take steps to resolve to within tolerance
13
May not require a student to repay earned wages May be required to reimburse FWS program dollars from institutional funds
14
Before fully disbursed, must adjust After fully disbursed, and NO CB aid in package, no action required ◦ However you may adjust if you wish After fully disbursed, and CB aid in package, must adjust to within tolerance ◦ Must be repaid before adjusting/canceling CB aid
15
Remember the Best Interest of the Student Minimize the negative impact on both the student and the institution If aid is NOT fully disbursed ◦ Increase COA budget ◦ Must reduce anticipated loan disbursements before reducing/canceling CB aid If aid is fully disbursed ◦ Increase COA budget ◦ Cancel unused portions of FWS awards
