Dear NYS Principals and Administrators,
The State Education Department has alerted us that the Mandated Services Aid (MSA) is now open to receive claims for 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. You can access the MSA claim system to fill out the online application here.
Schools with claims on hold can now upload documents to the MSA system. Claims in hold status will be reviewed and the reviewer will send a request to schools to provide needed documentation. The schools will be able to access their claims in the MSA system and upload requested document/s.
Please note that payments for approved claims will not be issued until after May 15, 2021.
You can find all the relevant documents you need including the special COVID-19 guidance, instructions, and all other paperwork by clicking here.
We intend to host a webinar shortly after Pesach to provide comprehensive information and guidance regarding the MSA application. Please watch your email for details.
