?
1. This format is used for the verification of eligibility of students who receive
McKay or Opportunity Scholarships - prior to the payment of the scholarship
each quarter.
2. DATASET
?
NAMES: The dataset names of the files produced by the
Department of Education are DPSxx.GQ.F70561.Yyyyys for payment 1 and
DPSxx.GQ.F70562.Yyyyys for payment 2 where ‘xx’ indicates the district
number, ‘yyyy’ indicates the school year and ‘s’ indicates the survey period (2
for October or 3 for February). The school district response to the pre-
payment verification uses file names DPSxx.GQ.F70571.Yyyyys for payment

district number, ‘yyyy’ indicates the school year and ‘s’ indicates the survey

School districts will insert either an Entry (Re-entry) Date or a Withdrawal
Date (not both) and return the file to NWRDC under the appropriate file name.
All date fields should be in the MMDDYYYY format. The dates must be valid
dates greater than (after) May 1, 2000.

district all nines (99999999) should be entered in both the Entry (Re-entry)
Date and Withdrawal Date fields.
5. If any record was transmitted in error or needs to be revised, the current file at
North West Regional Data Center (NWRDC) must be deleted and an entire
new file must be re-submitted.
