2010-11

Based on the FY2011 state budget, which determines funding levels for the 2010-11 academic year, the Silas Purnell Illinois Incentive for Access (IIA) Program has not been funded. Consequently, no 2010-11 awards will be made for this program.

MAP Recompute

Verification of system changes related to the recompute process have been completed and the 2010-11 MAPnet system is now available. All 2010-11 Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) data received from the Central Processing System (CPS) through (including) Tuesday, July 6 is reflected in MAPnet, and daily processing of ISIR data has resumed.

Based on the anticipated FY2011 state budget, the 2010-11 Silas Purnell Illinois Incentive for Access (IIA) Program will not be funded. Consequently, IIA data will not appear in the 2010-11 MAPnet system.

The 2010-11 MAP Formula section, located within the MAP pages of the ISAC Gift Assistance Programs area, has been updated to reflect the recompute process.  Refer to the
June 21 e-Message for a summary of all the actions taken at the June 18th Commission meeting. Specific details about the FY2011 MAP Recompute Formula are also available within
June 18, 2010 Agenda Book (Item 8).

IIA Records Suspended

As announced in a March 12 e-Message, ISAC is putting student records with an initial 2010-11 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) receipt date on or after March 12, 2010 in suspense for IIA.

2009-10

Returning Amounts Owed for 2009-10 MAP and IIA

Letters detailing the outstanding amount that must be refunded to ISAC for MAP and IIA for the 2009-10 academic year were mailed to financial aid directors on June 7, 2009. The outstanding amount due, with proper documentation, should be returned to ISAC on or before June 30,2010.

Be sure to use the current version of the Gift Assistance Programs Check Return Form, which includes a field to specify the term(s) for which funds are being returned and is dated "4/06" in the footer. This document may be accessed within the Refunds and Unpaid Claims portion of the FAA Zone's Processes area. Due to the offset process, do not send refund checks to ISAC without providing the appropriate adjustment data via MAPnet.

Details regarding the use of MAPnet are available at the MAPnet Processing and User Guide area, which is located within under MAPnet in the FAA Zone Processes area.

Late Claims Being Released for Payment

2009-10 MAP and IIA late claims will be processed for payment (in date-order received), up to the available fund balance, on Friday, July 2, 2010. Payment results will be available in MAPnet on Tuesday, July 6, 2010.

A June 3, 2010 e-Message contains more details.
