The following steps outline the process to issue payment to the raffle winners (based on the email string below with Disbursements).
- Purchase Requisition for each award type (so 3 PRs in total each with their own req #)
- Chartstring (if special funding, verify ahead of time)
- W9 for each individual and password protect the document (you can do one protected pdf for each group)
- Please make sure recipient knows the address on the W9 is where the check will be mailed and that this is considered a 1099 reportable award.
- Business purpose should be specific to each award type and stated that the recipient names were chosen during a random raffle. For example:
- $500 for 6 recipients that completed course as incentive/award to ....
- $1,500 for 2 recipients that completed the course as incentive/award to...
- $1,500 for 1 recipient that had 100% attendance, complete the course and passed as incentive/award to .
These suggestions are based off Disbursements requirements. Please submit the PRs to lawbudget@syr.edu to obtain budget approval. Special payments will be emailed directly for special handling in Disbursements.
