  • Adding Funding or Interest

  • Under Category, select either Funding or Interest. These are the first two categories listed.
  • Enter the applicable date and amount.
  • For a single deposit, enter 1 as the quantity and enter the full amount under Cost per Item / Service.

  • Selecting a Provider

  • You may create a provider specifically for these entries, such as PEP Funding or PEP Interest, and reuse it for future entries.

  • Saving the Entry

  • Click Save after completing the row. The amount will now appear for use in the reports.

  • Selecting a Student

  • Use the Viewing Report For dropdown menu at the top of the page to select the student whose information you want to review.

  • The report displays information for one student at a time. Selecting a different student automatically loads that student’s report.

  • Selecting a Date Range

  • By default, the report displays All Dates. After selecting a student, you may use the Date Range field to limit which entries appear on the report.

  • Select All Dates to review all qualifying entries for the student.
  • Select School Year to review entries from July 1 through June 30 of the current school year.
  • Select a custom beginning and ending date to review a specific period.

  • Click Apply after changing the date range. You must select both a beginning and ending date when using a custom date range.

  • Funding and Interest

  • The Funding and Interest section displays the funding and interest amounts recorded for the selected student, grouped by category.

  • Category – The Step Up funding or interest category assigned to the entry.
  • Funded – The total amount recorded within that category and date range.

  • The total shown at the bottom of the table represents the student’s combined funding and interest for the selected date range.

  • Expenses

  • The Expenses section groups the student’s expenses by Step Up category and separates the amounts according to their current status.

  • Category – The Step Up expense category assigned to the item.
    (For your convenience, the rows only show categories actually used in your reimbursements.)
  • Pending Pre-Authorization – Submitted pre-authorization requests that have not yet been approved or denied.
  • Pending Standard – Submitted standard expenses that have not yet been approved or denied.
  • Approved – Expenses recorded as approved.
  • Denied – Expenses recorded as denied and not approved.
  • Future Purchases – Planned standard purchases with a future purchase date that have not yet been submitted.

  • Totals for each status appear at the bottom of the table. A separate total beneath the first two columns shows the combined amount of all pending pre-authorizations and pending standard expenses.

  • Summary Totals

  • The Summary Totals section uses the report’s funding and expense totals to provide two additional balances.

  • Remaining Standard Funds

  • This amount is calculated as:

  • Funded minus Pending Standard and Approved expenses.

  • This amount should generally match the student’s Current Funds Available balance shown by Step Up.

  • Safe to Spend Now

  • This amount estimates how much remains available after accounting for expenses and purchases that may reduce the student’s balance.

  • The calculation subtracts pending pre-authorizations, pending standard expenses, approved expenses, and future purchases from the student’s funded amount.

  • Use this amount as a planning tool when considering additional purchases. It depends on the completeness and accuracy of the information entered in MyFLFunds.

  • What Is Included in the Report

  • An item must belong to the selected student, fall within the selected date range, and meet the applicable requirements below.

  • Standard Expenses
