Release Notes: Item 2409-01

Overaward Fix

This release updates the overaward process for the 2024-2025 Aid Year.

Prior to 2025, We could always count on SC + PC = FC. That, however, has changed, effective with the 2024-2025 Regulatory modifications. As you've seen SAI will not always = SC + PC.

The overaward subprogram (WFOVRAWN), as currently delivered, will look at the SC and PC fields. As a result, for formula C students (who have no SCI), an overaward status would incorrectly appear on the Aid Need Evaluation Screen and Award Summary screen.

We have modified the WFOVRAWN subprogram (for 2025+) to look at the FC value from the EFC calc (the delivered SAI value for the student). By looking at the SAI, rather than adding the SC + PC values, we are correctly reporting an overaward status for all formulas.

Note: The display of overaward on the Aid/Need Evaluation Screen and the Award Summary screen is simply a message, no database flag gets set when a student is determined to be an "Overaward". This issue does not impact the Packaging routines.
