The chargeback will be accomplished by reducing your county’s § 4410 Automated Verification Listing (AVL) reimbursement due your county when State funds become available. The posted reports show the 2023-24 chargeback amounts, along with any adjusted § 4408 chargebacks going back to the 2013-14 school year.
