Public, ESU

As NDE staff continue processing the school year 2024-25 SPEDFRS data collection, it is possible that reductions are made to the claims. Common downward adjustments are:

  • Staff that are listed as non-qualified on the “Staff Reporting for Special Education Financial Reporting System (SPEDFRS) and GMS SPED IDEA Consolidated Application” report in NSSRS Validation
  • Corrections to cost-allocation of SPED and non-SPED FTE for employees
  • Unallowable expenses for contracted services
  • Reductions to match invoices for contracted services

A District can check the status of their claim throughout the processing period by logging into SPEDFRS in the legacy portal. The reason for a downward adjustment will be noted in the “NDE Comments” section by line item.

Please email us with any questions or concerns at NDE.BGMHelp@nebraska.gov
