FSM - Eligibility Checking Bulk
Once a parent has done an online eligibility check, their details will be stored in the system. This means that it becomes possible for the school's system administrator to re-check their eligibility status periodically. Re-checks are run in bulk and can be done as frequently as required. Depending on the number of people being checked, this takes a little while and you will be notified by email when the results are available. Please note that doing a re-check will check every single parent that has ever done a check or has had an initial check done on their behalf by an administrator.
Re-check results
When the re-check results are available, the only ones shown by default will be those where the status has changed. This effectively means that if no changes have been highlighted since the previous check, your results list will be completely blank.
Initially, you will only see changes. If you wish to view all the parents details, you can do so by unticking the box shown below:
Please note that it is possible that after running a recheck on checks originally done before 1 April 2018, some of those who were originally found as "not eligible" may now show a status of "No Trace - Check data" as it is likely some of the information provided originally was incorrect. Such results can be hidden if you do not wish to see them.
You can also view a history of a specific previous eligibility check by selecting a date from the menu instead of viewing all previous checks.
The full results of the latest check will, by default, by shown in the panel titled "Reports", which is the panel above the one containing the re-checks.
Using the last column on the right, you will be able to tell whether a parent's details were in fact re-checked or whether the essential information needed to do so was missing.
Please be aware that on rare occasions, re-checking a particular parent's eligibility won't be possible. In such instances, the parent's "last checked" date won't change. This is due to compliance with data protection legislation as each parent can choose to remove their saved National Insurance number or Asylum Seeker's number from the system. When this information is not available, a recheck can't be done. You can encourage the parent to do a re-check themselves via the site, where they will need to supply the relevant details again, or you can offer to do it for them, if they provide you with the relevant details.
