Miscellaneous Supplies Allowance
Miscellaneous Supplies Allowance
I was reading through the participant handbook and it mentions a miscellaneous supplies allowance. Does anyone know how much this usually is?
Re: Miscellaneous Supplies Allowance
It is $1000. It is given as a single payment in August so that you can use it for textbooks, or whatever else you might need. It is meant to last both semesters, so budget accordingly.sfrka wrote:I was reading through the participant handbook and it mentions a miscellaneous supplies allowance.

Re: Miscellaneous Supplies Allowance
Everything is given directly to us. No payments come through the SF until phase 2. It'll be payed out like the travel stipend was - that first month (august) should include the two allowances (misc. and health care) and the first month of your stipend.CSMajor wrote:Is this given to us or our SF?

Do you know when in August this will be distributed?
Re: Miscellaneous Supplies Allowance
I believe the third week based on previous years.Hello_tehe wrote:kbl2017 wrote:Everything is given directly to us. No payments come through the SF until phase 2.

Re: Miscellaneous Supplies Allowance
Yes, it will be deposited the third week in August along with your first stipend payment.kbl2017 wrote:I believe the third week based on previous years.Hello_tehe wrote:Do you know when in August this will be distributed?
The only exceptions to this is are: (1) if they delay the August stipend payment, which happens every once in a while, (2) you are still a federal employee through pathways or some other program August 1st, and are ineligible to receive an August stipend. If that is the case they will give you the allowances with your September stipend.
