    Logic Changes

    Two changes were made to the Method A Flag & Algorithm logic to include applicable responses to the two new Special Eligibilities questions that were added in this release.

    The Method A eligibility determination is based on Yes/No answers to questions about receiving benefits and about special eligibility circumstances.

    1. Exonerated of Crime/Pardon Eligibility
      IF eligExoneratedCrime = “yes” (or)

      then elig_method_a = "Yes";

      else elig_method_a = "No"

    2. COVID-19 Death Eligibility
      IF eligCovidDeath = “yes” (or)
      then elig_method_a = "Yes";

      else elig_method_a = "No"

    If the applicant answers “Yes” (= True) to either or both questions, the <elig_method_a> flag is triggered, which is used to calculate the final elig_BOGFW status

    For details see Appendix A: Algorithms > Method A Logic in the 2022-2023 California College Promise Grant Online Application Specification & Data Dictionary.

    Resolution

    Notes

    • ssn_no

    • ssn_exception

    • ssn_type

    • ssn_last4

    For colleges using the Download Client for CCPG downloads, they should already have the SSN/TIN data fields configured in their Format Definition XML file.
