Providers previously were not able to process an unemployed Student unless they were on benefits due to ESFA validation rules. By using DAM code 023 providers can fully fund the Student and not input any Benefit Status Indicator.
The ‘Other Funding Adjustment’ field is no longer required. Providers are expected to remove this from each Student i.e. OtherFundAdj should now be left blank
