Why does it take up to 24 months for participating LEAs to receive reimbursement?
During the last few years, LEAs have experienced a delay of up to 24 months to receive the reimbursement for jail education services offered in the “previous” year. The major reason for delay is getting Budget Act confirmation to allow or disallow growth and COLA. In 2004-05, the online revenue system known as Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS) software was implemented to expedite the calculation and certification process.
