Navigate Forms
Filling out applications on this website is best accomplished in a Forms or Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) mode. This allows you to tab to controls and fill input fields, radio buttons, check boxes and list boxes. Instructional text usually occurs at the beginning of these screens and can be accessed in non-MSAA or virtual-cursor mode.
Consistent headers have been set up to access questions, examples, and instructions more easily. The screen reader indicates the questions that have additional help or instructional text. You can then tab to the additional help or continue tabbing to the next question to bypass this help.
