I. Overview

This screen is used by school districts to re-apply for reimbursement approval for July/August Chapter 2-Month Placements.

Each spring, the STAC/Medicaid Unit issues reapplications based on the current year’s reimbursement approvals. If a student did not have a current year approval on the STAC Online (EFRT) System by the announced date, a reapplication for the subsequent school year would not have been generated. If a reapplication was not generated, the new approval for the upcoming summer must be manually added on DSCSM.

II. Accessing the STAC Online System

  1. Proceed to the STAC Unit website at: https://www.oms.nysed.gov/stac/
  2. From the navigation menu on the left, click the “EFRT Online Sign-In” link.
  3. Log in using your assigned Usercode and password.
