[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people already aware that there was a loophole to the verification?

Filling out the online FRM form allowed the parents to claim low income without producing documentation.   The TJ Admissions office only needed confirmation that the parents had submitted the form.

This is insane.

Do all FARMS kids at all schools need to prove it with documentation?  Or is it just TJ?[/quote]

FARMS families have to provide documentation in order to receive FARMs. So yes, all FARMs kids have to prove it. It was a box that you could check on the TJ application and you did not have to submit documentation at the time the application was due.

[b]You don't just call the school and say "My kid is a FARMs kid" or check a box on the form at your base school. You apply and provide the approved paperwork to your school.[/b][/quote]

You don't make a phone call. This year, there was a online form.  You could easily fudge the numbers.  The "approved paperwork" was hitting the submit button.  [/quote]

Have you gone through the process? I have not so I have no clue if it is as simple as you say, I would assume that they ask for records that prove that you are eligible for FARMs. It is a program that receives Federal or State Funds, pretty sure it is Federal Funds so there is going to be some sort of audit process. It is probably something that can be gamed but then you risk committing a felony if you are caught and that is bad news. [/quote]
