IN THIS ISSUE
HEAB Email Addresses have Changed
HEAB emails are now: firstname.lastname@wisconsin.gov.
We are not sure how long the old "@heab.state.wi.us" will continue to get
through!
NO ¢ENTS - IN VOUCHERS OR REFUNDS!! Voucher requests with any amounts that are not whole dollars will be
truncated (not rounded) when processed by the voucher program. These are avoided by rounding awards
up in the fall and down in the spring.
For AES, fall requests MUST be $563 and spring $562. Any fall request that
comes in at a different value (562.50 or 562) will be changed to $563.
WE STILL HAVE A FEW SCHOOLS INCLUDING CENTS IN THEIR REFUNDS! PLEASE HELP US GET
THE WORD TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON YOUR CAMPUSES THAT WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING CENTS IN
REFUNDS!
Beginning in January 2008, if your refunds includes
cents, HEAB will return your entire check to your institution.
Our new system now accepts only full dollar transactions. Please use standard rounding when
determining the dollar amount to be refunded. Sorry for the inconvenience.
FINAL VOUCHER FOR 0708 - MAY 16 (Friday)
We have moved the final voucher up a month to May. We need this extra time to ensure we have all
funds spent with enough time left to finalize HEAB’s annual accounting procedures.
