The following section of the current MCB maintainence policy is what RSA deemed non-compliant and must be changed:
Through the Individual Plan for Employment, the counselor/teacher and the individual must develop a budget based on a list of actual expenses compared to

income. It is important to consider all resources including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and Social Security Supplemental Income

(SSI) benefits when determining income.

 

Every student must participate financially in his or her education. College students are required to apply for SSI/SSDI or contribute the maximum amount

according to the Social Security Administration Red Book for the current year. If the Social Security application is denied or awarded at less than the

maximum level because of individual or family income and assets, the student will contribute the difference to the maximum Supplemental Security Income

(SSI) allowable amount for each semester or term attended.

 

The financial aid award letter must be submitted to MCB a minimum of 30 days prior to the start of any term or semester for which the student is seeking

financial assistance. Failure to submit the award letter will result in non-sponsorship for that semester or term. However, letters received after this

deadline may be considered for determining sponsorship for the following semester or term.
