[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I read through their attachment and it doesn't seem to improve anything.

1) There doesn't seem to be any added incentive for schools to catch cheaters - and no punitive measures taken if they don't.

2) The proof of residency verification is still WAY too light. There should be a requirement of a utility bill and a pay stub and, frankly, a DC license. [/quote]

Okay, can agree with the utility bill and even other requirements. You are not getting an address on a pay stub from a federal government worker and many private companies. I drive and have a license, but do you have any idea how many people in this city refuse or do not know how to drive, and thus do not own a DL?  And with Uber and the red bicycles everywhere, yuck, that number is only growing.  [/quote]

The idea behind this is that they want to see DC taxes being taken out, which a federal stub would still show. But regardless at most companies it's FAR to easy to go online to the HR portal, change the address to DC, wait for a pay period, print it out, then change it back. They need to couple that with a utility bill or similar.[/quote]

That game is the same all around, we've had DC gov employees fired for residency preference issues (failure to maintain bonafide residence) and they often go into Peoplesoft and change their address whenever it suites them.  [/quote]

The pay stub is supposed to be dated +45 days from enrollment. If it showed virtually now DC taxes having been withheld to date that would be a flag the auditors could see when looking over the school's enrollment papers that would warrant follow up.[/quote]
