Step Up invoice requirements and printable provider template

Short answer: A useful reimbursement invoice identifies the provider, full date, student or purchaser when required, exact item or service, service dates when applicable, itemized cost, and payment status. Proof of payment may still be required separately.

Mismatch troubleshooting

For FES-UA, request a corrected receipt or invoice that meets the current proof rules; do not assume a general card statement can replace a dated paid receipt or paid-in-full invoice. FTC/FES-EO has separate rules for PayPal receipts, cleared checks, cash payments, and payer-name mismatches in the Private School Family Handbook. If a school statement covers multiple students, mark the claimed student and itemized charge without obscuring necessary evidence.
