<span style="color: black;">The WCG CEMLI was updated to include all the following except ‘IRA deductions and payments to self-employed SEP, SIMPLE, and qualified plans’ as more research is needed to determine whether
<i>the SFA_xx_FTIM_DEIRA - IRA deductible</i> <i>and payments</i> fields is accurate and doesn’t contain rollovers (reference:

There are not many students systemwide at this time that have the data and we’ve reviewed them to confirm there are no impacts on their WCG eligibility. However, we will be building a query to find these students until we can confirm
<i>SFA_xx_FTIM_DEIRA - IRA deductible</i> <i>and payments</i> fields should be added to the WCG CEMLI.</span></p>
