DSSR 960 EDA: Education Allowance Worksheet
DSSR 960 EDA, Education Allowance Worksheet (DSSR 270), is a two-page worksheet for education allowance expenses. Its header says education allowance expenses may be computed here to process a SF-1190 claim, that the worksheet is reproducible locally, and that the reverse lists allowable and non-allowable expenses. The worksheet names no issuing agency. GSA hosts a copy in its forms library.
Page 1 asks for the employee, agency, grant number and student, then lists expense types for each education method: school at post, school away from post, and home study, private instruction or virtual schooling (HS/PI/VS). Page 2 is the Education Allowance Matrix, which marks each expense type Y or N for each method and cites the DSSR section behind it.
The edition line reads Eff. 06/19/2022 TL:SR 1049. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
