EFA Weekly Email
EFA Families,
Today we will cover the queue review order, some information about 2026-27 applications, and some expense submission reminders.
Current queue dates
We are currently reviewing submissions from the following dates:
Reimbursement - 2/12
Direct Pay - 2/23
Marketplace - 2/20
Pre-approvals - 3/11
If you have a submission from before these dates that has not yet been reviewed, it is likely being given closer consideration. Feel free to reach out to ADE if you have submissions from before these dates.
Queue Review Order
Submissions in each queue (reimbursement, direct pay, marketplace, and pre-approvals) are generally reviewed in the order they are received. There are occasional exceptions where certain items may be reviewed earlier for specific reasons. If you notice a newer submission reviewed before an older one, there’s no need to worry. We have not skipped your earlier request.
You can view all of your orders in the ClassWallet dashboard under “Manage Orders.” Any item listed as “Pending Approval” is still in the queue and has not yet been reviewed.
Application & Renewal Reminders
If you need to update information submitted in your renewal survey, please contact ClassWallet Support directly. You can reach them at help@classwallet.com or (877) 969-5536.
You are not required to remove returning students from a new student application. Removing them is fine too, but it is okay if they were included in the application when you submitted.
Completing the renewal survey is all that is required to renew your student’s application. You will not receive a confirmation email after submission. If the survey reminder is no longer popping up when you select a particular student, that means you have already completed the survey for that student.
Expense Reminders
Here are a few helpful reminders regarding expense eligibility:
Competition and Performance Fees: Competition and performance-related expenses are not eligible under EFA Program policy. This includes tournament fees, recital fees, and costumes.
Transportation: Mileage reimbursement requests must include a GPS screenshot. This shows us that the distance listed on your travel reimbursement form is accurate.
Field Trips: Only in-state educational field trips are eligible. Mileage requests must include proof of attendance.
Spending Caps: Please be sure to monitor your student’s extracurricular and transportation spending caps, which are 25% of your student's annual disbursement. The extra-curricular category also includes all Physical Education and field trip expenses. You can see your previous spending by viewing past submission under the "Manage Orders" section of ClassWallet.
Thank you for your continued participation in the EFA program. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best Regards,
Arkansas EFA Team
