Updated 2002-2003 Specifications for Need Analysis Servicers have been posted to the following Web site: http://www.fsadownload.ed.gov/CPSTestSys0607.htm

Changes made to the specifications since the last release (9/26/01) include the following:

Edits for rejects A and C have been clarified to indicate that they only apply to paper records (edits 4012, 4016, and 4018).
