2023–24 SAR Comment Codes and Text Guide (Updated Dec. 19, 2023)

Note

Dec. 19, 2023: New Comment Codes related to new Federal Loan Servicer codes assigned to defaulted student loans have been added. For more information, see the Change History Table at the beginning of the guide.

Aug. 31, 2023: Comment Code numbers 405 and 406 on Page 137 of this guide incorrectly state that these comments do not produce a “C” code. These two comment codes indicate the student is incarcerated, and a SAR C Code will be generated. The guide is correct in stating that no resolution is required.

We are pleased to announce the posting of the 2023–2024 SAR Comment Codes and Text reference guide. The reference guide is designed as a stand-alone guide as well as a companion to the 2022–2023 EDE Technical Reference.

The guide includes a description of changes to the Student Aid Report (SAR) comments for 2023–24 and provides the complete text for all 2023–24 comments.
