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.
Exonerated of Crime/Pardon Eligibility
IF eligExoneratedCrime = “yes” (or)then elig_method_a = "Yes";
else elig_method_a = "No"
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.
