  6. Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU)

  7. Pell Grant LEU • Calculated by Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system and provided to NSLDS • One-time “catch up” file provided in July from COD for award year 1973-74 and forward • All subsequent changes will be sent to NSLDS by COD

  8. Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) • New for 2013-2014: • Pell Grant warning icons • “Close to Pell Grant LEU Limit” • “Meets or Exceeds Pell Grant LEU Limit” • Only students who are Pell Grant eligible will be considered for post-screening with the following reason codes:

  9. 150% Direct Subsidized Loan Limit

  10. 150% Direct Subsidized Loan Limit • Limiting Direct Loan borrowing to 150% of program length will be implemented on NSLDS in several phases: • Identifying first-time borrowers • Tracking subsidized usage periods for first-time borrowers • Calculating maximum eligibility periods • Determining loss of subsidy • Implementation dates of phases will overlap

  11. 150%: Tracking First-Time Borrowers • Phase 1 (July 2013) • COD will identify first-time borrowers • Subsidized Usage Limit Applies (SULA) Flag is reported to NSLDS from Federal Loan Servicers • New Loan Type is reported from Federal Loan Servicers • “D0” for Direct Stafford Subsidized (SULA-eligible) loans

  12. 150%: Tracking First-Time Borrowers • Phase 1 (July 2013) • New “D0” loan type displays on: • NSLDS websites • NSLDS reports • Financial Aid History (FAH) • Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM) • New “D0” loan type displays as “D1” on • Prescreening and Postscreening • Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR)

  13. 150%: Tracking First-Time Borrowers • Phase 1 (July 2013) • School Portfolio Report (SCHPR1) updated to include: • New loan type of “D0” in the list of loan types identifying Direct Loans • Borrower-level SULA Flag indicator on loans (“Y,” “N,” or blank) • Updated record layout will be posted to IFAP in July 2013

  14. 150%: Tracking First-Time Borrowers • Phase 1 (January 2014) • SULA Flag will display on the NSLDSFAP website • SULA flag will be included on: • Financial Aid History (FAH) • Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM) • 2014-2015 Prescreening and Postscreening • 2014-2015 Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) • Postscreening Reason Code 25 will be added for changes to a SULA status for 2014-2015

  15. 150%: Tracking First-Time Borrowers • Phase 1 (January 2014) • “D0” loan type will be included on: • 2014-2015 Prescreening and Postscreening • 2014-2015 Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) • A new Direct Consolidation Subsidized for SULA eligible loans will be created but will not be used immediately

  16. 150%: Tracking Subsidized Usage Periods (SUP) • Phase 2 (tentative March 2014) • COD will calculate the Subsidized Usage Periods (SUP) for each loan and send to NSLDS • NSLDS will display the SUP on the NSLDS websites • NSLDS will include the SUP in TSM, FAH, and NSLDS reports • NSLDS will send the borrower-level SUP to CPS for inclusion on the 2014-2015 ISIR

  17. 150%: Calculating Maximum Eligibility Period (MEP) • Phase 3 (tentative March 2014) • NSLDS will compare the Maximum Eligibility Period (MEP) calculated by COD to Program-Level Enrollment Reporting from schools • Enrolment reporting changes will be required • NSLDS will determine if a new MEP should be calculated based on the enrollment reporting

  18. 150%: Calculating Maximum Eligibility Period (MEP) • Phase 3 (tentative March 2014) • When reporting enrollment information to NSLDS, school must include for program in which the borrower is enrolled: • CIP Code • Credential Level • Length of program in years, months, or weeks • If applicable, indication that program is preparatory coursework or teacher certification coursework for which school does not award an academic credential

  19. 150%: Calculating Maximum Eligibility Period (MEP) • Phase 3 (tentative March 2014) • NSLDS will display the MEP on the NSLDS websites • NSLDS will include the MEP in TSM, FAH, and NSLDS reports • NSLDS will not send the MEP to CPS for inclusion on the 2014-2015 ISIR

  20. 150%: Loss of Interest Subsidy • Phase 4 (tentative March 2014) • NSLDS will determine if Loss of Interest Subsidy should occur on a borrower’s loan based on the borrower’s MEP and total SUP • NSLDS will update the following: • NSLDS will display the Loss of Interest Benefits on the NSLDS websites • NSLDS will include the Loss of Interest Subsidy in TSM, FAH, and NSLDS reports • NSLDS will send the Loss of Interest Subsidy to CPS for inclusion on the 2014-2015 ISIR • NSLDS will send the Loss of Interest Subsidy to the Federal Loan Servicers

  21. NSLDS Data Integrity

  22. NSLDS Data From DMCS • DMCS has completed a project to improve the integrity of the data DMCS reports to NSLDS • If you find an issue with a loan status or a closed loan, contact the Department’s Debt Resolution Group (DRG) at 1-800-621-3115 • If the issue is with student or parent identifiers (SSN, name, date of birth) or duplicate loans, contact NSLDS Customer Support at 1-800-999-8219 • You will have to provide documentation for identifier changes • This process does take time due to the number of corrections that are currently necessary

  23. NSLDS Aggregate Questions and Reaffirmation

  24. What is Reaffirmation? The Department sets annual and aggregate Stafford loan limits that a student cannot exceed, but sometimes students are over-awarded. The student cannot receive any more federal aid until this overage is addressed. One of the ways to resolve this issue is called “reaffirmation.”

  25. Why is Reaffirmation Important? Every student loan originated is covered by a Master Promissory Note. This constitutes a legally binding contract that requires the borrower to repay the loan in regards to the requirements listed. The “Promise to Pay” section only covers the funds the student was eligible to receive, however.

  26. Resolving Over-Awards • Satisfactory Repayment Arrangement • Borrower signs a promise to pay for the overage amount • Borrower signs and returns a reaffirmation letter • Borrower consolidates his/her loans • Reallocation of loan balance • Can only resolve a subsidized overage or an annual overage • Will not work if the student exceeds his/her total loan limit • Only the school that certified the loan(s) in question can request a reallocation • Pay down the overage • Borrower would have to pay enough of the loan balance to reduce the principal by the overage amount • Could potentially include interest and require a payment much greater than the overage itself to pay the loan down

  27. NSLDS and Aggregate Balance Calculation • Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (Agg OPB) is an auto system calculated field on NSLDS that is used to total up loan balances for annual and aggregate amounts • Original Disbursed Amount • Outstanding Principal Balance • New as of January 2013 • Excluding capitalized interest from outstanding Principal Balances (OPB) for open, non-consolidation loans • Enhanced the linking logic for underlying loans of Direct Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans (D5) and Direct Subsidized Consolidation Loans (D6)

  28. Calculating the Agg OPB • The loan is originated and Agg OPB starts at the Original Disbursed Amount • If the student pays the Outstanding Principal Balance (OPB) below the Original Disbursed Amount the Agg OPB reduces to the OPB • If interest capitalizes, the Agg OPB will increase but will NEVER go above the Original Disbursed Amount • NOTE: it is possible for a student to pay down an overage and have it reappear as soon as interest capitalizes again

  29. NSLDS Aggregate Calculation Process

  30. Recent Aggregate Concerns • Capitalized Interest • Capitalized Interest is only reported to NSLDS by the ED Servicers for Direct Loans and FFEL Loans that are owned by the Department • NSLDS modified the display of the Capitalized Interest Flag and mouse-over text on the NSLDSFAP Loan History webpage • Amounts are found on the Loan Detail webpage

  31. Aggregate Updates

  32. Report Changes

  33. Loan Record Detail Report (LRDR) Updates • GA/Federal Loan Servicer Code at Calculation • NSLDS is adding a new field to the LRDR to identify the Guaranty Agency (GA) or Federal Loan Servicer which held the loan at the time the cohort was calculated • This field is being added to better direct a potential challenge or appeal to the proper data manager
