What is the best way to monitor student earnings?
The best way to ensure that you will be reimbursed is to monitor student earnings. Keep track of the total eligibility amount and the gross amount earned, not just the employer share. Encourage the student to keep records too. When the student has earned most of the award amount, the student can check with the school to determine eligibility for an additional award. If the student is not eligible for additional State Work Study funds, the student must stop work. Of course, you may elect to pay the entire wage, although you will not be reimbursed for amounts in excess of the award.
