Honor Disbursement Date
Select to have the disbursement process compare the disbursement date on the Disbursement ID page against the current date for all selected financial aid item types. The process disburses only those awards that have a disbursement date that is earlier than or equal to the current date. Use the Grace Period (Days) field to allow disbursement dates within a specified number of days to be disbursed as well.
Grace Period (Days)
This field is available only if you select the Honor Disbursement Date check box. Enter a limit to the number of days before the disbursement date that funds can be processed for disbursement. For example, if you never want funds to be disbursed more than five days before the scheduled disbursement date, enter 5 in the field. If you want the disbursement date to be earlier than or equal to the current date without exception, enter 0 in this field.
For example, assume that you are running the disbursement process on 09/11/2022, and you want to process all awards with disbursement dates of 09/15/2022 and earlier. You would enter 4 in this field for these disbursement dates to be processed.
