Timing

You must complete this procedure within the appropriate time frame.

If you use this page outside of the correct time period, an incorrect coverage effective date is entered.

If the coverage effective date is incorrect, you can change it in the SCO Interface text file before you submit the file to the SCO. This process is faster than submitting individual SCO Misc. Forms for each FERP member when there are issues."
