I. Overview

This screen is used by school districts to re-apply for reimbursement approval for §4201 State-supported Placements for the September-June enrollment period.

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. Contact the STAC/Medicaid Unit if a reapplication is not available.

REMINDER: Reapplications for the July-August enrollment period are completed by the
§4201 State-supported Schools. For more information, please see:
