• Eligible non-public schools can use EANS funds to make payments through vetted and pre-approved service providers or submit receipts for reimbursement of purchases made to address educational disruptions from COVID-19.
• Once your ClassWallet account is set up and your balance reflects the EANS funds, you can start submitting receipts for a direct reimbursement via ACH or issue payments to registered service providers.
• Costs may be reimbursed with proper documentation, as long as the costs are allowable, reasonable, and necessary.
• Only expenses incurred on or after March 13, 2020 will be considered.
• July 31, 2023 is the last day to submit receipts for reimbursement or issue a payment to service providers within your ClassWallet account.
