Problem Statement or Business Need

Colleges would like to add  ‘CalWORKs’ to the TANF question on the Needs and Interests page in the CCCApply application. Per CalWORKs representatives, students may not be aware that CalWORKs is the same as TANF and therefore fail to self-identify on the admission application. This information is also important for MIS purposes.

 

Proposed Solution

  • Update the onscreen label/prompt text for the TANF Financial Assistance question on the Needs & Interests page in the CCCApply application. All instances of TANF will be updated throughout the application for consistency.  This is a text change only.

Requirements Summary

  • Add the following text change to the Review Application for CCCApply in the Needs and Interests section: Receive TANF/CalWORKs, SSI, or General Assistance.
