The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Student assistance programs have the primary purpose of providing equal opportunity and access to postsecondary education for persons of both sexes, and all races, ancestries, incomes, ages, and geographies in California. (b) Student aid programs should enhance the ability of individuals to choose the most appropriate postsecondary educational opportunity and among different institutions. (c) Student aid programs should assist students to progress through the educational program in accordance with the individual’s educational objectives. (d) Student aid programs should provide assistance to individuals who desire to enroll in an independent college or university.

(f) State purposes regarding student aid programs should complement the purposes of federal student assistance programs so as to enhance the effectiveness of state programs; the state’s purposes mentioned above serve to enhance the purposes of the Pell Grant Program.

    This section says student aid should consider family income, warns against improper claims of financial independence, and seeks a clearer statutory definition for need-based grants.

General Provisions [69503 - 69509.6] ( Article 1.5 added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 36. ) ## 69503. In enacting this article, the Legislature finds and declares: (a) The awarding of financial assistance to needy students by state-funded student aid programs appropriately considers family income in determining an applicant’s financial need. (b) Claiming of financial independence by students whose parents are in fact able to provide financial assistance unfairly redirects limited student aid dollars from students with legitimate financial need. (c) Definitions and procedures by which a student may declare financial independence from the student’s parents differ among state-funded student aid programs and among institutions. A statutory definition of when a student’s eligibility for need-based, state-funded grants is to be determined without regard to his or her parents’ financial circumstances will reduce confusion and ensure that such grants are allocated to students on the basis of a more equitable evaluation of their financial need.

(5) Whether provisions of the model contract ensure a process for the tracking and resolution of student complaints about the card-issuing financial institution’s credit delivery, customer service, and debit, prepaid, or preloaded cards. (6) The impact, if any, of the content of a dispute resolution clause on students, their campus, and their educational system, if a conflict were to arise between a student and the card-issuing financial institution.

Notwithstanding Section 69506, the Student Aid Commission may, whenever it is determined to be in the best interest of the state, develop and adopt regulations that modify the methodology set forth in federal law or regulation for determining the expected family contribution of students seeking any state-funded financial assistance or the federal definition for establishing the dependent and independent status of students seeking any state-funded financial assistance. It is the Legislature’s intent that these regulations promote consistency between federal and state standards, encourage the maximum contribution from parents while being sensitive to individual student financial and personal circumstances, and encourage a simple financial aid application process. (a) The regulations developed pursuant to this section shall be adopted as Student Aid Commission regulations in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (b) Prior to adopting or amending regulations pursuant to this section, the commission shall conduct, and make public, a full analysis which includes at least an examination and explanation of the cost of the change, the effect on student applicant and recipient eligibility and award levels, and the effects of implementing the criteria on those programs administered by the commission. (c) Not later than July 1 of the year following any modifications to the methodology for determining expected family contribution or the federal definition of student dependence or independence made pursuant to this section, the commission shall report to the Governor and the Legislature the impact of the changes on those programs administered by the commission.

(a) The commission, through an interagency agreement with the State Department of Social Services, currently operates a federally funded scholarship program, known as the Chafee Educational and Training Vouchers Program, that provides grant aid to provide access to California’s current and former foster youth to postsecondary education. Funds provided through an appropriation by the Legislature shall be supplemental to funds provided by the federal government, and are designated to ensure program availability in the absence of and before the annual receipt of federal funds for this purpose. The department shall opt in, as necessary, to expand program age eligibility of former foster youth up to 26 years of age pursuant to federal program guidelines. The department shall pursue and seek possible Chafee Educational and Training Vouchers Program federal matching dollars. (b) Funds provided for this program shall be used to assist students who are current and former foster youth, for career and technical training or traditional college courses. The commission shall operate this program in accordance with the program instructions provided by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, and the program guidelines developed by the State Department of Social Services. (c) The total amount of funding and the amount of individual awards shall depend upon the amount of federal funding provided in addition to state funding. The commission, in conjunction with the State Department of Social Services, shall determine the individual award amounts and total number of students awarded on an annual basis as the amount of total annual funding is determined. (d) Commencing with the 2021–22 award year, the commission may make initial award offers totaling up to 200 percent of the total state and federal program funding available for all awards. Each year, the commission, in conjunction with the State Department of Social Services, shall determine the number of initial awards offered, based on the historical acceptance rate of initial awards and the size of awards, so not to exceed the total amount of available funding for the full award cycle. The commission shall make an award offer contingent upon available funding, and may adjust or withdraw an award offer before payment to ensure that total award payments do not exceed the total amount of available funding for the award cycle. The commission shall inform each recipient of an award offer that the offer may be withdrawn or adjusted before payment and that an award is payable to an eligible student only to the extent that funding is available. (e) Commencing with the 2017–18 award year, the commission shall make a new Chafee grant award to a student only if the student attends either of the following: (1) A qualifying institution that is eligible for participation in the Cal Grant Program pursuant to Section 69432.7. (2) An institution that is not located in California that satisfies the provisions of subparagraphs (C) and (F) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (l) of Section 69432.7.

(B) The student attends either of the following institutions: (i) A qualifying institution that is eligible for participation in the Cal Grant Program pursuant to Section 69432.7. (ii) An institution that is not located in California that satisfies the provisions of subparagraphs (C) and (F) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (l) of Section 69432.7. (2) Implementation of this subdivision is contingent upon an appropriation of sufficient funds in the annual Budget Act for this purpose. (g) The California Community Colleges and the California State University shall, and the University of California is requested to, provide all Chafee grant recipients, upon release of the first payment, with information regarding available support services on campus and the process for completing an educational plan. In this notification, Chafee grant recipients shall be strongly encouraged to avail themselves of these services if they have not already done so. (h) (1) (A) If a student fails to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress, as defined by the institution where the student is enrolled, for two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters, or an equivalent enrollment period, the student shall meet with an appropriate college staff member to develop a plan for improving academic progress or update an existing plan, in order to ensure that the student is making satisfactory progress toward completion and to receive their remaining Chafee grant funds. (B) If a student with a plan pursuant to subparagraph (A) fails to meet satisfactory academic progress standards for a third consecutive semester or fourth consecutive quarter, or an equivalent enrollment period, the student shall meet with an appropriate college staff member to update the plan, in order to ensure that the student is making satisfactory progress toward completion and to receive their remaining Chafee grant funds. (C) Once a plan has been developed or updated pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B), as applicable, and submitted to the financial aid office, remaining Chafee grant funds shall be released to the student for the next applicable semester, quarter, or other period, in accordance with the existing schedule for release.

(a) The Legislature finds and declares both of the following: (1) The student loan guarantee business is not a core mission of government. Recognition of this fact led, in 1996, to the approval of the establishment of an auxiliary organization for the purpose of providing operational and administrative services for the Student Aid Commission’s participation in the Federal Family Education Loan Program. (2) Pursuant to that authority, an auxiliary organization was established to provide, pursuant to contract, certain services to the Student Aid Commission. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the value of the auxiliary organization’s arrangement with the Student Aid Commission and the Student Aid Commission’s participation in the Federal Family Education Loan Program be maximized through either of the following: (1) The sale of the state’s interest in the student loan guarantee portfolio of the Student Aid Commission and certain related assets and liabilities of the student loan guarantee program operated by the Student Aid Commission, to a firm approved to act as a state student loan guarantee agency for the Federal Family Education Loan Program by the Secretary of Education. (2) The entry into an arrangement for the operation of the state student loan guarantee program by an entity meeting the financial and compliance standards established for the Federal Family Education Loan Program.

Cash for College Program [69550 - 69551] ( Article 3.5 added by Stats. 2007, Ch. 741, Sec. 1. ) ## 69551. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The Cash for College Program has successfully established local regional partnerships that annually provide hands-on help in filling out financial aid forms necessary to receive financial assistance for college. This program was initiated by private foundations and the commission in 2002 with the goal of increasing the number of students who successfully complete the financial aid process and enroll in college. In 2007, the Cash for College Program succeeded in serving over 20,000 students and their families in 44 of the 58 counties in California, thereby helping the state to access tens of millions of dollars in federal Pell Grant financial aid for low-income students and increasing the number of students participating in the Cal Grant Program. (2) The intersegmental cooperative nature of the Cash for College Program has proved to be a highly effective mechanism to coordinate existing services and foster the cooperation of the various educational segments, community, and business partners involved. (3) The Cash for College Program has been successful because of the financial and volunteer contributions of local partners in private business and industry, the financial aid, admissions, and outreach communities, and student groups. Additional funding has been provided through these local and regional partnerships, and through one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) in private foundation grant funds that have supported the initial development of the program, and funded local scholarships offered to workshop participants who complete the financial aid process by the state filing deadline. (4) The Cash for College Program has assisted high school and community college students whose families were unfamiliar with the financial aid process. The program focuses on assisting students and their families who are first- or second-generation college-bound students who have little or no access to college advising because of limited resources at the schoolsite or the perception that college is not an option. (5) The Cash for College Program seeks to provide all California students who desire to attend college the opportunity to enroll by providing tangible assistance in accessing the available state and federal resources to make higher education possible. (6) A college or postsecondary education is a requirement for a working wage job. The wage disparity between a high school graduate and a college graduate is one million dollars ($1,000,000) over an individual’s lifespan. (7) California reflects the ethnic and cultural diversity of today’s world. Evidence of this change is most pronounced within our public elementary and secondary education system. As California continues into the 21st century, there is no single group that represents a majority of elementary and secondary enrollment. These changing demographics present great challenges and great opportunities. (8) California must invest in higher education and in the future of its young people so they can acquire skills and knowledge necessary to continue the state’s economic recovery. (9) The Cash for College Program provides access to the college financial aid process for students of varied backgrounds and socioeconomic status. (b) (1) Beginning January 1, 2008, the Cash for College Program is established and is administered by the commission, in partnership with private business and industry and local community and educational organizations. The commission may allocate funds for support of local Cash for College financial aid workshop efforts that are designed to accomplish the following goals: (A) Targeted outreach to, and assistance for, low-income and first-generation college-bound students with state and federal financial aid applications. (B) Targeted outreach to, and assistance for, students who are enrolled in schools or geographic regions with low college eligibility or participation rates, with state and federal financial aid applications. (2) The projects and organizations funded under this article shall implement all of the following activities: (A) Organize and conduct free local and regional workshops that help students and families to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Cal Grant grade point average verification form required for Cal Grants. (B) Convene advisory board meetings to develop regional partnerships with local partners in private business and industry, admissions and outreach communities, and student groups, to foster financial and volunteer contributions.

GENERAL PROVISIONS [66000 - 70115.2] ( Division 5 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## PART 42. STUDENT FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM [69400 - 70115.2] ( Part 42 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## CHAPTER 2.

California Student Opportunity and Access Program [69560 - 69566] ( Heading of Article 4 amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 575, Sec. 1. ) ## 69560. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Lack of information about postsecondary educational opportunities and financial aid are primary barriers to postsecondary education for pupils from schools that have low college eligibility and participation rates. (b) Since its inception in 1978, the California Student Opportunity and Access Program (Cal-SOAP) has focused on increasing the availability of information and improving college access to postsecondary education for historically underserved student populations by creating a college-going culture, focusing on financial aid application completion, and coordinating student outreach efforts. (c) The intersegmental consortium nature of the program has proven to be a highly effective mechanism in coordinating existing services and in fostering the cooperation of the various education segments and partner organizations involved. (d) An essential core of state funding for the program is required to maintain its intersegmental character, which has generated better communication, understanding, and teamwork resulting in a high-impact collective effort, while minimizing duplication of services in a geographic area. (e) Research demonstrates that many students do not have the financial means to cover the increasing costs of postsecondary education or access to adequate financial aid. Cal-SOAP projects assist pupils in becoming knowledgeable about education costs and financing options, including student financial aid, as they prepare to attain a postsecondary education. (f) Cal-SOAP projects employ college students from historically underserved communities to serve as college success coaches. This is a cost-effective method to provide information and assistance regarding postsecondary education costs and financial aid opportunities to pupils from schools that have low postsecondary education eligibility and participation rates. (g) Awareness of financial aid options has historically been a barrier for first-generation students and students from minority backgrounds trying to access a postsecondary education. Research shows that students are widely unaware of their financial aid options and have misconceptions of financial aid eligibility, leading many to not complete the financial aid process. (h) The COVID-19 health pandemic has only exacerbated the challenges associated with declining rates of postsecondary education enrollment and financial aid application submissions for low-income and first-generation students. Students are in dire need of information and support to help them navigate the college-going process during these uncertain times. (i) There is a critical need to modernize Cal-SOAP to focus on providing financial aid information and assistance with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) to promote college opportunities for low-income and underserved students. Additionally, project staff assist students and families with overall financial aid literacy to help them make the best possible decisions in financing their postsecondary education.

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The growing shortage of high-quality teachers is most serious in particular subject areas, partly due to the shortage of students in these fields who enter the teaching profession. (2) Many school districts have difficulty recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers for schools ranked in decile 1 or 2 on the Academic Performance Index, for pupils with special needs, for schools serving rural areas or large populations of pupils from low-income and linguistic minority families, and for schools with a high percentage of teachers holding emergency-type permits. (3) The rising costs of higher education, coupled with a shift in available financial aid from scholarships and grants to loans, make the availability of financial aid and loan repayment assistance options an important consideration in a student’s decision to pursue a postsecondary education. (b) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature that the Assumption Program of Loans for Education be designed to provide veteran teachers and outstanding postsecondary students, particularly economically disadvantaged students, with the assurance of financial assistance to encourage them to complete postsecondary education programs leading to teaching credentials, and to seek employment as teachers in designated subject-matter shortage areas or in schools serving a large population of pupils from low-income families, schools with a high percentage of teachers holding emergency-type permits, or schools ranked in the lowest two deciles on the Academic Performance Index.

(a) The Legislature hereby recognizes the growing need for new faculty members at California’s colleges and universities.

(b) The Legislature finds that the rising costs of higher education, coupled with a shift in available financial aid from scholarships and grants to loans, make loan repayment options an important consideration in student’s decision to pursue a graduate education. (c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Graduate Assumption Program of Loans for Education be designed to encourage persons to complete their graduate educations and serve as faculty at an accredited California college or university. (d) As used in this article, “commission” means the Student Aid Commission. (Added by Stats. 1998, Ch. 330, Sec. 32. Effective August 21, 1998.)

It is the intent and purpose of the Legislature in establishing the Community College Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) to encourage local community colleges to establish and implement programs directed to identifying those students affected by language, social, and economic handicaps, to increase the number of eligible EOPS students served, and to assist those students to achieve their educational objectives and goals, including, but not necessarily limited to, obtaining job skills, occupational certificates, or associate degrees, and transferring to four-year institutions. (b) The rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges shall be consistent with this article. The operation of EOPS, as well as these rules and regulations, shall be consistent with all of the following goals: (1) To increase the number and percentage of students enrolled in community colleges who are affected by language, social, and economic disadvantages, consistent with state and local matriculation policies. (2) To increase the number and percentage of EOPS students who successfully complete their chosen educational objectives. (3) To increase the number and percentage of EOPS students who are successfully placed into career employment. (4) To increase the number and percentage of EOPS students who transfer to four-year institutions following completion of the related educational programs at community colleges. (5) To strive to assist community colleges to meet student and employee affirmative action objectives. (6) To improve the delivery of programs and services to the disadvantaged. (c) The Legislature further intends that EOPS shall not be viewed as the only means of providing services to nontraditional and disadvantaged students or of meeting student and employee affirmative action objectives. (d) The Legislature finds that the establishment and development of extended opportunity programs and services are essential to the conservation and development of the cultural, social, economic, intellectual, and vocational resources of the state.

(a) From any funds appropriated by the annual Budget Act or another statute for purposes of this article, the commission shall administer the program, which is hereby established. Under this program, the commission shall make available one-time grants to California resident workers who have been displaced from their employment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are not already accessing an educational or training program, can demonstrate a financial need by meeting the income and asset qualifications, established pursuant to subdivision (k) of Section 69432.7, to be eligible for a Cal Grant A award, and agree to use the grant funds for any of the following purposes: (1) To access an educational program or qualified training program at an institution of higher education. (2) To obtain training from a provider that is included on the state’s Eligible Training Provider List. (b) (1) The commission shall determine the amount of each grant award so that no grant awarded under this article is less than one thousand dollars ($1,000), and no award exceeds two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). The commission shall consider individual applicant financial need and educational or training program costs in determining individual award amounts. The commission shall prioritize available grants to participants with incomes that are the greatest percentage less than the average monthly family or individual income in calendar years 2018 and 2019 needed to meet the average living wage in the participant’s California county or metropolitan statistical area of the state, as computed by the living wage calculation developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (2) The commission shall allocate at least one-half of the funding appropriated in the annual Budget Act or another statute for purposes of this article to provide grants to eligible individuals who are caring for at least one dependent child under 18 years of age in the calendar year of the application. (c) In awarding grants to individuals pursuant to this article, the commission shall do all of the following: (1) Develop an application for prospective individuals to request a grant. In developing the application, the commission shall consider if the application process can be integrated within the application process for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and the California Dream Act application. (2) Verify that an applicant was displaced from the applicant’s employment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and meets the income and asset criteria, established pursuant to subdivision (k) of Section 69432.7, to be eligible for a Cal Grant A award. (3) Require an applicant to self-certify that they have been unable to obtain employment that provides an average monthly wage that is equal to, or greater than, the average monthly wage received from their employment before the COVID-19 pandemic. (4) Verify that the applicant was not enrolled in a training program, college, or university at the time the applicant was displaced from the applicant’s employment. (5) Ensure that, if a student opts to attend an institution of higher education, the student’s grant funding is used to supplement and not supplant other sources of grant financial aid. (d) Grants allocated by the commission under this article shall be used to do either of the following: (1) Support the costs to access an educational program offered by an institution of higher education. (2) Obtain training from a provider that is included on the state’s Eligible Training Provider List, and that has a demonstrated track record of having the majority of its participants obtain employment that pays at least a living wage, as calculated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology within one calendar year of program completion. (e) An eligible individual may request and receive no more than one grant under this article. (f) To the extent practicable, applicants determined to be eligible for a grant under this article shall have their grants provided directly to the institution of higher education of their choosing or directly to the applicable training provider included on the state’s Eligible Training Provider List. (g) The commission shall collaborate with institutions of higher education to facilitate the offering of these grant opportunities through campuses of those institutions. As a condition of making these grants available to individuals through institutions of higher education, those institutions shall comply with the applicable programmatic requirements of subdivisions (a) to (f), inclusive, and report the information necessary for the commission to complete the report required pursuant to subdivision (i). To the extent practicable, institutions of higher education shall match the grant awards provided to individuals enrolling in an educational program offered by the institution with any available institutional aid. (h) The commission may adopt regulations it deems necessary for the implementation of this program. If the commission opts to adopt regulations pursuant to this subdivision, these regulations shall be adopted by December 31, 2021, and shall be adopted as emergency regulations in accordance with the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code). For purposes of the Administrative Procedure Act, including Section 11349.6 of the Government Code, the adoption of those regulations shall be deemed to be an emergency and necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, or general welfare, notwithstanding subdivision (e) of Section 11346.1 of the Government Code. (i) No later than December 31, 2023, the commission shall report to the Legislature, in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code, and to the Governor on the number of grants provided to an institution of higher education on behalf of a grantee or to a training provider included on the state’s Eligible Training Provider List on behalf of a grantee. (j) (1) The commission may use up to 1 percent of the amount appropriated for purposes of this article to support its direct costs in administering the program. (2) Institutions of higher education administering this grant program through their campuses may use up to 1 percent of the amount allocated to their campuses for purposes of this section to support direct costs to administer the program. (3) The commission shall provide a portion of funds not to exceed 1 percent of the amount appropriated for purposes of this article to institutions of higher education administering this grant program for purposes of promoting the program and attracting eligible applicants in their respective communities. (k) The Legislature finds and declares, within the meaning of subsection (d) of Section 1621 of Title 8 of the United States Code, that undocumented persons shall be eligible to receive grants under this article. (l) It is the intent of the Legislature to appropriate state funding in the annual Budget Act or another statute to support the provision of a grant award to any eligible resident who meets, or could meet in a future year, the requirements for exemption from nonresident tuition pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 68130.5.

Sec. 11302(a)), or as defined as a “homeless child or youth,” as defined in subsection (2) of Section 725 of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11434a(2)), is an extenuating circumstance for students who are otherwise unable to meet the requirements deemed to constitute “satisfactory academic progress” at that institution that may be considered by the institution to alter or excuse compliance with those progress requirements. (e) No later than June 15 of each year, the community service scholarship committee of each participating high school shall notify the Student Aid Commission of the names of the scholarship recipients selected by the committee, or, alternatively, that no pupil applicants were determined by the committee to qualify for a scholarship pursuant to subdivision (c). No later than August 15 of that year, the commission shall provide funding for the subsequent academic year for each scholarship awarded pursuant to this section, in an amount equal to the amount of the undergraduate student fees charged for that school year by the University of California, except that no such allotment shall be in an amount of less than one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500). (f) Scholarship funding provided under this article may be applied to educational costs incurred by the recipient pursuant to the applicant’s attendance at an institution of higher education. Those costs may include, but are not necessarily limited to, tuition, fees, instructional materials, and room and board. (g) Scholarships shall be funded under this article to the extent funds are made available for that purpose. (h) This article shall not be construed to prevent any participating high school or pupil from seeking private or other funding sources to supplement the amount of any scholarship or scholarships awarded under this article. Any scholarship or scholarships awarded under this article shall augment, and not supplant, student financial aid from other sources. (Amended by Stats. 2020, Ch. 285, Sec. 3.

The birth data shall include the child’s name and birth date and the name and contact information of each parent of the child, including the parent’s street address and, if provided to the department, the parent’s mobile telephone number and email address. In addition, upon request by the board, the department shall include, in the birth data it provides to the board, information collected pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 102426 of the Health and Safety Code. The department may provide additional identifiable birth data to the board, upon request, and upon a determination by the State Registrar, in consultation with the board, that the data is necessary for administration of the program.

The department is not required to provide the board amended birth record information of a child that would reveal information that was sealed by statute or court order. The birth data is confidential and shall not be disclosed except as necessary for the program. No more than 90 days after receiving the birth data from the department, the board shall notify at least one parent of each eligible child about the program. The notification shall include information on all of the following: (1) How the parent may opt out of the program. (2) The KIDS Account opened for the child pursuant to subdivision (f).

(f) Upon appropriation by the Legislature, the board shall establish one or more accounts and shall make a separately accounted-for seed deposit from the fund into a KIDS Account established within an account in an amount determined by the board. Each seed deposit shall be designated for a particular child for whom the board receives birth data pursuant to subdivision (b), if no parent or legal guardian has opted that child out of the program. Moneys in a KIDS Account designated for a child, including any investment earnings attributed to the amount of the child’s seed deposit since the date of the deposit as calculated by the board, shall be used for the purpose of providing awards for qualified higher education expenses associated with the attendance of the child at an eligible institution of higher education. Before the 2023–24 fiscal year, each seed deposit shall be at least twenty-five dollars ($25). Commencing with the 2023–24 fiscal year, each seed deposit shall be at least one hundred dollars ($100). The board may provide additional financial incentives designated for a child into a KIDS Account if the parent or legal guardian of the child engages with the KIDS Account by verifying receipt of information provided pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b), establishing a separate account pursuant to Article 19 (commencing with Section 69980), or engaging with the KIDS Account by other means approved by the board. (g) Upon the student self-certifying that they are enrolled at an institution of higher education and that they have resided in the state for at least one year immediately preceding the payment of qualified higher education expenses on the student’s behalf, the board shall make a payment to that institution in an amount determined by the student or their parent or legal guardian, which may include the total or a partial amount of the seed deposit, enhanced deposit, if applicable, and any additional financial incentives designated for the child pursuant to subdivision (f), plus any investment earnings attributed to that amount since the date of that deposit as calculated by the board, for qualified higher education expenses associated with the child’s attendance at that institution. If the child has no account balance with the institution, the institution may distribute funds received for the child pursuant to this subdivision directly to the child for the purpose of paying the child’s qualified higher education expenses. (h) Subject to available money in the fund, the board may provide additional incentives from the fund for children participating in the program, including, but not limited to, incentives targeting low-income households. (i) (1) Subject to available funding, a parent or legal guardian, residing in California, of a child who meets the criteria in paragraph (2) may apply to the board to enroll the child into the program. Subject to available funding, the enrollee shall be eligible for any incentives described in subdivision (h), as applicable, but is not eligible for a seed deposit. (2) The child is a current California resident under six years of age who was both of the following: (A) Born on or after the date designated by the board for which eligibility commences. (B) Not a California resident at the time of birth.
