The purpose of this memorandum
is to introduce a new code and clarify procedures for the Education/Student
Information (FMAJ) screen.
New Eligible Student Code
A new code, code "D"--does not apply, is
added for use in the Eligible Student field on the Education/Student Information
(FMAJ) screen. Use code "D" when the information entered and committed
in the Eligible Student and Effective Date fields is incorrect and no other
code is appropriate.
For example, the worker enters "N" in the
Eligible Student field, the current date in the Effective Date field and
commits the data for an EU member who is not currently enrolled and will
not be enrolled during the certification period. Spacing out the
existing information in the Eligible Student field will not remove the
data. To correct the data, type "U" on the command line. Tab
to the Eligible Student field. Since neither "Y" nor "N" is appropriate
in this situation, type or prompt for code "D". Tab to the Effective
Date field and type the correct effective date. Press enter.
Clarification of Procedure
If an EU member is not enrolled in school,
and therefore not a student, enter NE in the Status field on the Education/Student
Information (FMAJ) screen. Do not enter anything in
the Eligible Student field. This field is used only when the
Status field entry is full time, half time, or part time. This is
not a change in procedure, but is a clarification.
Many EU members were coded as not enrolled,
but had an "N" in the Eligible Student field, causing the EU member to
fail. A program was run to change the Eligible Student to "D" (does
not apply) for EU members who are not enrolled. This prevents the
incorrect removal of the person from the EU when a new eligibility determination
is completed.
