IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC PARTNER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACT
The California Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act extends new rights, benefits, responsibilities and obligations to individuals in
domestic partnerships registered with the California Secretary of State under Section 297 of the Family Code. If you are in a Registered Domestic
Partnership (RDP), you will be treated as an Independent married student to determine eligibility for this Enrollment Fee Waiver and will need to
provide income and household information for your domestic partner. If you are a dependent student and your parent is in a Registered Domestic
Partnership, you will be treated the same as a student with married parents and income and household information will be required for the parent’s
domestic partner.
Note: These provisions apply to state student financial aid ONLY, and not to federal student financial aid.
Are you or your parent in a Registered Domestic Partnership with the California Secretary of State under Section 297 of the Family Code? (Answer
“Yes” if you or your parent are separated from a Registered Domestic Partner but have NOT FILED a Notice of Termination of Domestic Partnership
with the California Secretary of State’s Office.) Yes No
If you answered “Yes” to the question above treat the Registered Domestic Partner as a spouse. You are required to include your domestic partner’s
income and household information or your parent’s domestic partner’s income and household information in Questions 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
