Refunds, Rebates & Reimbursements
Funds from a students ESA account will not be refunded, rebated, or shared with a parent by a provider. Rebates and refunds will be credited to the ESA student's account. All refunds shall be refunded within 30 days of being notified of their obligation to refund.
Suspended Student Account
There may be circumstances where a Wyoming ESA student’s account may need to be suspended. Families will not be able to initiate payments during a suspension. If educational services were provided before the account suspension, please contact vendorsupport@withodyssey.com.
ESA families are responsible for making payments for any payments due for services provided while the account is suspended, and may need to use a different source of funds. If the account is reinstated, families can resume making payments through the portal. Obligations incurred during a period of account suspension can not be paid through the ESA account once it is reinstated.
