We are pleased to announce the posting of an update to the 2012-2013 SAR Comment Codes and Text reference guide. The reference guide is designed as a stand-alone guide as well as a companion to the 2012-2013 EDE Technical Reference. The guide includes a description of changes to the SAR comments for 2012-2013, and also provides the complete text for all 2012-2013 comments.
The February 2013 update contains the following revisions:
Addition of comment codes 318-321, 323, and 326, which are associated with specific loan servicers.
Addition of comment codes to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Match table for NSLDS Results Flag = 1 and Match Flag = 2.
For more information and changes, consult the tracking log of changes posted with the reference and in the Appendix.
In addition to its current availability on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site, the guide will also be available in the next several days from the Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) Web site, located at https://www.fsadownload.ed.gov.
