Each activity listed in the AppleFund Business and Education Programs has its own checklist for claims procedures. In general, however, the following steps should be completed for ALL AppleFund claims:
1. Complete the appropriate AppleFund Claim Form
Claim Forms are available in electronic format on AppleLink in Claris® FileMaker® Pro, Microsoft® Excel®, and Aldus® PageMaker.® The pathway is Apple Sales & Marketing -> Apple Programs -> AppleFund. Forms can also be ordered from AppleFund Headquarters at 1-800-421-9547.
Be sure to check the correct Fund box. For Business Solutions Fund reimbursements (through March 31, 1993 only), please write “Solutions” across the top of the Form.
2. Submit Claim Form and
proof of expense (invoices, etc.)
proof that ad/activity took place (newspaper tearsheet, script, invitation, etc.)
IN ADDITION, FOR NEWSPAPER ONLY, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW QUICK CLAIM OPTION.
Just send in a tearsheet with your Claim Form. AppleFund Headquarters will identify the rate for reimbursement using the published rate cards on file. The reimbursement will be issued directly to you (the Reseller/AESC)—in most cases before you receive an invoice from the newspaper.
If there is a discrepancy in the reimbursement and invoice rate, just submit your invoice. AppleFund will pay the difference.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE DIRECT DEDUCT PROCESS
Please refer to the Special Services section for information on which products and services can be direct deducted (StartingLine, etc.)
