These settings allow you to customize and control the display names (strings) and the formatting of these public assistance programs. Please review these carefully to ensure that you have selected the correct programs for your District. All default settings are noted by * unless otherwise noted in blue text.

Note

If you want to add a custom disclosure message, you should first add the message in the custom strings area for each language active for your District and THEN check the box next to that message in this section to make it visible on the website. You must also modify the corresponding custom strings for each language as well.
