Residency AdjustmentsRemoved ‘intent’ question
Confusing to applicants SAAM does not indicate that applicant’s statement
is acceptable evidence of intent Evidence of intent is needed only for those in CA
for over 1 but less than 2 years (2 years = intent) Had been asked of all applicants; if ‘No’, ‘stay and intent’
criteria could not be met
![Page 9: CCCApply 2010 Annual Updates](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815d3e550346895dcb42d6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Residency Adjustments cont’d
New question for Foster Youth Meets AB 669 requirement to grant residency to
previous or current foster youth under 20 and now living in California
On Residency 2, before contra-indicator section Asked only if applicant is under 20 If ‘Yes’: Residency Status 2, new integrity flag (70)
