Why must I complete a W-9 Form? W9s are necessary to create ID numbers in our system to track payment distribution.  Those receiving $600 or more in the calendar year must also be reported to the IRS.

 

May I refuse stipend? Yes. However, please e-mail nustipend@nu.edu to formally decline the stipend.

​

If payments are processed through my district, what does that look like? The National University Honorarium Specialist provides district personnel with the names of all teachers who provided support to a National University candidate in a given month.  The district is then asked to provide National University with an invoice based on these names. Once the invoice is received, National University has one month from the invoice date to issue payment to the district for distribution. Once received by the district, teachers should be paid through the districts’ payroll.  If the district does not provide National University with an invoice, payment cannot be issued

​

If my district has arranged for payments to be distributed directly to me, what does this process look like? The National University Honorarium Specialist runs a report monthly for completed W-9 and Honorarium forms. Using the submitted W-9 Form, the check is mailed directly to the teacher one month after the report has been run. With this set up, the district is not involved in the payment process.

 

What if I have additional payment questions that have not been answered here?  Please send an email to nustipend@nu.edu with your question.  Please include if you are supporting a student teacher, intern or Admin candidate along with their name and the district and school site you are affiliated with.
