number of LSC grant recipients implementing online systems as part of 
their client-eligibility screening systems to improve efficiency in 
their intake processes. LSC has received a corresponding increase in 
compliance-related inquiries pertaining to these systems. LSC has 
prepared this draft program letter to assist LSC recipients in 
complying with eligibility screening requirements for all methods of

governing the use of LSC funds, as well as LSC's recognition of the 
realities of practices in the field.

    LSC recognizes the importance of input from the public and from LSC

recognition of the advancements in technology with LSC's obligation to 
ensure compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements 
governing the use of LSC funds. LSC encourages all interested parties 
and program staff whose work involves screening applicants to review 
the draft Program Letter and provide input to LSC. Interested parties
