[ctcLinkfinaidsupport] Updated College Bound (CBS) and WA Bridge (WBG) Equations

[Stephanie Casino]

Good Morning FA -

In May, when the CBS Eligibility Checker layout was implemented in ctcLink, the new status of 2-Year/ Transfer for OK to Award and OK to Pay was not included in the CBS equation engine criteria.  In the past, CBS equations have looked for OK to Award and OK to Pay=Y. The CBS equations have been updated in PRD. The updated criteria are as follows:

CBS should package in a status of Offered when:

  *   MFI is less than or equal to 65%
  *   Ok to Pay= No or Verify
  *   Ok to Award=Yes or 2-Year/Transfer

CBS should package in a status of Accepted when:

  *   MFI is less than or equal to 65%
  *   Ok to Pay= Yes or 2-Year/Transfer

WBG should package when:

  *   MFI is less than or equal to 65%
  *   Ineligible for CBS:
     *   Student does not have a CBS Eligibility page OR
     *   CBS Eligibility page exists but Ok to Pay and Okay to Award= No or Verify


To identify student who may have been missed in awarding, please run the CTC_FA_CBS_ALL_RECORDS query to identify students with a status of 2-Year/ Transfer.

Note: If students are not updated prior to loading the interim file, they may appear in CSAW with the following edits: "Not eligible for Bridge Grant if CBS Eligible" and/or "Student is OK to pay but hasn't been awarded CBS."

Thank you!
