When a subsidy agency, employer or scholarship pays part of a child's tuition, Neztio bills the agency's share separately and the family only for the rest.
Adding an Agency
- 1Go to Billing in the left sidebar and open the Subsidies tab.
- 2Click Add Agency.
- 3Enter the Name, choose the Type (Government, Employer, Scholarship or Other), and add the contact name, email and phone, and the Contract number if you have one.
- 4Save.
Assigning a Child
- 1On the agency, click Assign child.
- 2Select the child.
- 3Choose the Coverage type: Fixed amount (for example 500.00 per month) or Percentage (for example 50).
- 4Enter the Case number and, for Texas subsidy reporting, the Authorization number from the agency's paperwork, then save. From the next invoice on, the agency's share is split out and the family sees only its portion.
Recording the Agency's Payment
Agencies usually pay by check or direct deposit. On the agency, click Record payment, enter the amount, date and check or reference number, and the period. Type the invoice numbers it covers, separated by commas, or leave the field empty to use this period's invoices that include the agency, and save. The payment goes first to the agency's share on the invoice due soonest. If part of it is left over, a message shows how much was not applied. The payer breakdown on each invoice shows what the agency and the family each still owe.
Subsidy rates and case numbers change at the start of the agency's fiscal year. Review each assignment then, so the family is not under- or over-billed.
If a parent's share is split between two people, that is Split billing on the Families tab, not an agency. See Splitting an Invoice Across Multiple Payers.
