PublicationDate: 9/6/96 Summary: Correcting Applicant Status from Independent to Dependent Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) To: EDE Destination Points From: CPS Customer Service Date: 09/06/96 Re: Correcting Applicant Status from Independent to Dependent Changing an applicant's dependency status from independent to dependent requires two separate electronic corrections be submitted. The first correction must contain the changes in Section D that directly affect the dependency status & any necessary parental information. In addition to these changes the signature flag must be set to "B" meaning both the parents & applicant have signed the correction. All of these corrections will be processed except for the signature field. It will remain on the applicant's record indicating that only the applicant has signed the record and will contain an ISIR Reject Code of 15. A second correction must then be submitted setting the signature flag again to a "B". This correction must be made on the transaction that received the reject 15, which is usually, but not always, the most recent transaction. These steps will generate a valid ISIR with a calculated EFC. CPS is working to allow a single correction to be submitted for the 1997-98 processing year. Please call 1-800-330-5947, option 8 if there are any questions. |
