Greetings, OASFAA Friends!

The Ministry’s Business Unit has reached out to the OASFAA Systems Committee to discuss development priorities for the coming year. The committee has identified three key issues for discussion:

1. Improvements to the newly introduced reinstatement upload process (introduced in a December 13, 2024 FAO portal posting)

2. Efficiency and quality of life improvements in the PTCSL administrative system

StudentAid BC Disruption in Service Delivery

Dear Post-Secondary Institution Partners,

Did anything change about when parents separated but still lived in the same home? I know in the past we couldn't delete the one parent because both are in the home but... did this change due to cost of living etc? I have reviewed the policy manual but can't find anything specific.

Thanks

Pam
