Validate Item Type Rule

Use this rule to validate any specific item type. To validate more than one item type, insert a rule for each item type in a repackaging plan. If you use this rule, you should also use an Increase or Decrease rule with need thresholds in case the use of this rule results in either an unmet need or an overaward condition.

Before using this rule, ensure that the selected financial aid item type has a default disbursement plan and split code value on the FA Item Type page or Repackaging fails. For example, when validating Pell Grants, you must have an associated default disbursement plan and split code value defined on the FA item type page setup.

To reevaluate your students for continued Pell Grant eligibility due to enrollment changes, you must insert a Validate Item Type rule for your Pell item type.
