Pell Payment Processing

The Pell payment process begins with the submission of an origination or origination and disbursement record for payment. You use origination data to verify a student's eligibility, identify possible conflicts with other institutions, and initiate disbursement record processing. After the origination record is received and processed, you can import an acknowledgment and response into the Campus Solutions system. The response contains the status, such as accepted, accepted with corrections, duplicate, or rejected.

Use the disbursement record to report a disbursement or expected disbursement for each student. After origination is accepted, you can process a disbursement record. If you send both records simultaneously, the system processes originations before disbursement.
