Update: Validation, Edits, and Application Processing. Phase II and Error-Prone Model Report.
Gray, Susan; And Others
An update to the Validation, Edits, and Application Processing and Error-Prone Model Report (Section 1, July 3, 1980) is presented. The objective is to present the most current data obtained from the June 1980 Basic Educational Opportunity Grant applicant and recipient files and to determine whether the findings reported in Section 1 of the July report would have been changed if based on the latest data. It was found that the June data and the findings from the latest file runs are very similar, with the exception of the number of applicants. The corrections behavior of applicants changed little when April and June data are compared. About one-fourth of all applicants who were ever determined to be eligible corrected a key application field. The majority of corrections were solicited by a processing system edit. Nearly half of the solicited corrections were inconsequential and had no impact on the applicant's Student Eligibility Index. Corrections behavior is indicated by the critical field corrected from the application. In comparing April and June applicant and recipient data, little difference was found in the behavior and current status of applicants rejected by the processing. The application characteristics of applicants most likely to be rejected remained almost the same as those reported in previous reports. (SW)
