Before an award notification can be approved, which action must be performed?

• A. A system check must be performed to verify the Member meets the minimum requirements by clicking the Check Eligibility button
• B. A manual review by supervisor
• C. An automated email confirmation
• D. Update to Education tab

Answer: (A)

Before an award notification can be approved, the system must verify that the member meets the minimum requirements through an eligibility check. This is done by clicking the Check Eligibility button, which runs the necessary validations against the program’s rules and prerequisites. If the check passes, the workflow can move forward to approval; if not, the flags indicate what needs to be corrected before approval can proceed.

Manual supervisor review can occur as part of the process, but it doesn’t replace the required eligibility verification step. An automated email confirmation is simply a notification, not a gating action to ensure eligibility. Updating the Education tab is data entry, not the action that confirms eligibility for approval.
