If I’m waiting for an ‘Eligibility Determination’ from my district, but want to accept the ESA for this year should I return the renewal packet immediately or wait and return everything at once?

If the Department requests an ‘Eligibility Determination Form’ to maintain eligibility;  first, contact your last attended public school district to obtain one (the request can take up to sixty days to process).  The Department understands that this can take a while, so return the renewal packet before June 30 with or without the updated determination. If you return it without, simply state in the returned packet that you will be submitting the ‘Determination Form’ once you receive it.
