Online System Re-Opened to Submit MSA Claims for 2013-2014 School Year
February 18, 2015

The online system has been re-opened for schools that did not meet the January 14th deadline to submit their MSA claim for the 2013-14 school year. Please note that if you have any other MSA or CAP claim that is in any status other than CLOSED (claim payment was made), you will need to wait until all such claims are resolved (i.e., CLOSED) before you can submit the 2013-2014 school year claim.

The online application process is the most efficient way to claim both MSA and CAP. Staff members are available to assist schools in filing online and can be reached at 518-474-3936 and emscmsa@nysed.gov.

Please note, that the Statewide Financial System has been fully operational since April 2012.  Therefore, the OSC Vendor ID is a required field for the MSA claim forms or online system.  Schools that have not yet received an OSC Vendor ID are encouraged to work with the Department to obtain one so that claims can be filed.

Schools should track the status of their claim by accessing the mandated services online system available through the SED Business Portal. User IDs and passwords can be obtained from the SED Delegated Account System at 518-473-8832.
