   Existing law establishes the Student Aid Commission as the primary
state agency for the administration of state-authorized student

need standards applied to work-study programs at the institution at
which the student is enrolled or accepted for enrollment; and meeting
additional eligibility requirements as may be deemed appropriate by
the institution at which the student is enrolled or accepted for
enrollment.  The bill would deem a student who participates in
other work-study programs ineligible to receive financial aid under
the California Dream Work-Study Program.

 bill would  further  require, upon
verification that a student is eligible for financial aid under this
program, that the  Student Aid Commission
