Under the example "Student loses eligibility for higher loan limit," the second paragraph should read as follows: "The additional unsubsidized Stafford Loan amount of $13,000 that the student received in the first three years of the undergraduate program ($4,000 in years 1 and 2, $5,000 in year 3. $6,000 of the $19,000 of the additional unsub total amount would have been available without the PLUS denials, $2,000 per year) is not counted against the $31,000 dependent undergraduate aggregate loan limit... The rest of the paragraph remains unchanged." |

Revised May 14, 2010 |
The following corrections are not reflected in the print version of Volume 3: The first paragraph under "Veterans and Americorps benefits" incorrectly states that Americorps benefits are no longer counted as EFA, as does the second sidebar note. This is not true-in fact, Americorps benefits are included as EFA when determining eligibility for unsubsidized Stafford loans. No Americorps benefits are included in the EFA when determining eligibility for subsidized Stafford loans. For Campus-Based and ACG/SMART/TEACH purposes, you may exclude as EFA a portion of any subsidized DL or FFEL loan that is equal to or less than the amount of the student's Americorps benefits for the cost of attendance. |
