Re: Updated 2002-2003 Need Analysis Servicer Specifications and Test Files
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:
Complete Assumptions
The Tax Return Status field has been added to the assumptions for AGI (edits 2011 and 2045).
Complete Reject Edits
The date range for reject A has been revised to 1900-1927 (edits 4012 and 4013).
Edits for rejects A and C have been clarified to indicate that they only apply to paper records (edits 4012, 4016, and 4018).
The NAS test file has also been updated to add additional test cases as a result of the change to the AGI Assumption edits described above.
