Checking Student’s Work
In Volunteer Manual, look for NMI Verification page (it’s the same color as the student worksheet)
Match student’s account number with their NMI
It must be exact If student didn’t hear their
Lucky Chance Card called, you’ll need to give them the amount

Guidelines and Actual Budget Use NMI to calculate
range for spending later Only calculate Minimum
and Maximum amounts Amounts calculated as
percentage of NMI (Steps 1 & 2 only = columns 1 & 2)
Do not complete Step 3 Use Volunteer Manual to
check, if necessaryRound figures to nearest dollar!

Checking Student’s Work Look for sheet with
student’s NMI Spot-check their work Notable missteps:
Multiplying 3% as .3 (it should be .03)
$2337 x 3% $2,337 x .03 = $70.11
Rounding $70.11 rounds to $70 $350.55 rounds to $351
