 awarded because of having their need met with other aid. Please work with whomever prepares your file to ensure that it is correct for the Spring interim report opening on April 10<sup>th</sup></span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Currently, the delivered interim report will populate $0 when a student does not have a CBS or PTC award, regardless of eligibility. We met with WSAC
 to discuss their findings. While the delivered report populates $0, we learned that a handful of colleges may have edited their file before submitting their interim report in CSAW. While that is an option available to colleges, we understand that manual intervention
 can be time consuming and potentially cause layout errors. In an effort to provide a solution as quickly as possible, Debbie has developed a query that can be run after generating the WCG Interim file. This query pulls the WCG Interim file data that was generated,
 while omitting the erroneous $0 for CBS and PTC and can be downloaded in a .csv format to load to the CSAW portal. For the remainder of 22-23 reporting, we recommend using the query to generate a file that aligns with WSAC reporting requirements. Instructions
 will be provided once we have confirmed the query is available in Production and we expect this will be delivered
