Problem Statement
In summer 2015, the CCCCO required colleges to comply with AB13, the VACA Bill, which extends eligibility to honorably discharged military members and their dependents from one year to three (3) years of discharge and currently living in California. CCCApply standard application needs to be updated to comply with this requirement. In addition, the existing military status field values did not align to the MIS reporting values, and as an oversight, did not provide a response value for dependents of discharged military, and also combined "Currently Active Reserves and National Guard", while MIS (SG01 and SG02) listed these response values separately.
Proposed Solution
Update the Military Status field in the standard application to align the values to the MIS reporting values/requirements. Then based on the new revised values (new, revised, and removed), ensure the other military data fields trigger based on the response values. and the VACA AB13 legislature. In addition, the Area C (Military) residency logic has been updated to extend the period of eligibility for honorably discharged military members and their dependents from one year of discharge to three (3) years of discharge, based on the RDD (residency determination date).
