On the refund worksheet, the institution must enter all students listed along with their positive and negative dollar amounts. Enter increases as negative amounts and decreases as positive amounts on the worksheet. *Note that in your institution’s system, it may appear you are balanced; however, the state does not collect refunds until after Quarter 4 payments are processed. Therefore, you are not balanced in our system. If you are questioning the amount that the state is requesting, you can run “Payment Roster” report in MiSSG to see all the payments made to your institution.*
