Hi ! Has anyone ever had a hold on the cal grant due to a hold because of Assembly Bill AB 840 ?
I recently checked my cal grant status and it says, “Tentatively Awarded - On Hold” because my school has to release this hold. Does anyone know what to do?
Thank you so much!
It just means that you have something that still needs to be verified. Check you emails to see what they are asking for, or call the help line. see the text of AB840 here:
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide an update on CSAC staff’s implementation
of AB 840 regarding California Community College Transfer Entitlement Awards (E2).
AB 840 adds a self-certification requirement to the Cal Grant award process for E2
Awards. CSAC staff will select students who meet the E2 eligibility criteria and send a
preliminary award letter and a Transfer Entitlement Certification Form (G-6) to the
student. In order to be eligible for an E2 award, students must meet the following
eligibility criteria:
•
be a resident of California at the time of their high school graduation and,
•
graduate from a California high school on or after July 1, 2000, or
•
due to military orders, the student graduated high school outside of California
Newly awarded E2 students will be required to submit a completed G-6 form self-
certifying that they meet the E2 eligibility criteria to CSAC. Once the G-6 form has been
returned and the data indicating that the student meets the E2 eligibility criteria has been
entered into the Grant Delivery System (GDS), the student will be reprocessed, sent a
California Aid Report (CAR) and will be eligible for payment or selected for verification
on the Cal Grant roster.
In addition, AB 840 requires CSAC to select a minimum of 10 percent of the pool of new
and renewal E2 recipients for verification by their institution. For the academic year
2006-2007, the applicant pool will only consist of newly awarded E2 students, as the
verification requirement in AB 840 applies to awards commencing with the 2006-2007
award year.
