- For PIR reporting purposes, "current" is interpreted as employed during the same pay period as when the services are performed. Persons with 9 or 10 month appointments are not considered "current" employes during the summer unless they are otherwise employed by the UW-System. Divisions may choose to expand the definition of "current UW System employe" to include persons with 9 or 10 month appointments providing additional services during the summer.

- An amount paid or allowed to, or for the benefit of, a student at an educational institution to aid in the pursuit of studies. The student may be either an undergraduate or graduate (from Section 117 of the IRS Code).
