[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Residency verification should be the same as verification for DC TAG, which includes a certified copy of DC tax return. It's all done electronically now and not particularly onerous. [/quote]

Except you can't - because attendance at school is compulsory and you are not supposed to erect barriers to enrollment (e.g. even undocumented people can walk in and attend). No one has a right to go to college, much less get a voucher to reduce the cost.

OSSE now allows people to voluntarily give OTR permission to share their tax info to prove residency but I don't think it can be made compulsory.[/quote]

I think this has come up, but using the taxes should be default, and then if your tax return can't be found by the system (which could be automated) - THEN you are asked to come in with other documentation. At least this would narrow any resources to be spent on catching cheaters to that somewhat small pool. Sure, there are always exceptions but deal with them individually. Nobody is going to start paying DC taxes who doesn't live here.[/quote]

Right, a rational system is organized around the most common cases, not the outliers. [/quote]
