Missed deadlines. Denied receipts. Hold notices nobody saw until it was too late. Florida PEP Tracker makes sure none of that happens to your family.
"Working family has to keep thousands on hand for up to three months until approval. It's ridiculous how long this takes."

This isn't about organization. It's about money, yours, that Step Up will keep if you don't have a system.
Every summer, families forfeit hundreds in eligible expenses simply because they didn't submit before the hard deadline. No extensions. No exceptions.
When Step Up puts your request on hold, the 60-day clock resets to zero. A hold you catch the same day costs nothing. One you miss for two weeks costs you two weeks.
The last 4 digits of your payment card must appear in your submission. Most receipts don't show them — and most families don't know until they're denied.
"Reimbursement takes awhile. Usually 30+ days. Sometimes I get something approved no problem, for others they come back with questions. SUFS refuses to speak to parents and most of their employees don't actually know how their program works."— Experienced PEP parent, Reddit r/homeschool
