I know the OGs know this already but for the newbies asking when they will receive disbursements, you will not receive any funds until after you have signed this balance authorization form. It just states that you either want the excess funds to go back to federal aid or it goes to you. If it goes to you you will have to pay the funds back as it is a LOAN. You don’t need to reach out to the school to get this form it will come when it’s supposed to as there are people ahead of you who are also waiting. I started in June and I’m now receiving this form. They only process one batch per month not sure how many students at a time. I’m confident that they are doing their best to get everyone situated in a timely fashion. However I would suggest that if you’ve been in program for 4 months+ with no movement you should reach out.
