Introduction

Appendix A, Guaranty Agency Data Dictionary, provides the following tools to help create your Database Extract file:

• Indexes for the data elements

• Header, Detail, and Trailer Record layouts

Each record layout illustrates the data fields’ lengths, types, position, description, validation edits, relationships to other data elements, and more. The Database Extract file created by data providers must adhere to these processing specifications. The Database Extract file must mirror the data provider’s system of records and is subject to audit and program reviews. The DataPrep software provided by ED reads and processes the Database Extract file. Assuming no File Level Errors (causing the file to be rejected) and that Domain Level Errors are below tolerance levels set by ED, the DataPrep software will create the Submittal file. The data provider then sends the Submittal file to NSLDS.

If DataPrep cannot read your Database Extract file, you will get a file-level error. PC users should refer to Appendix B–Table B-15, for a list of the file-level edits and error messages. Z/OS LE users should refer to Appendix B–Table B-16. All other edit conditions and error messages will be noted on the page for each data element.

Note: Please be particularly careful about sending the current Submittal file to NSLDS. Do not send the Database Extract file as it will be rejected. Do not send the Submittal file from the previous month as it also will be rejected. Each data provider should establish a process to ensure that the current Submittal file is sent at least once a month.

Data elements are defined as character, numeric, or date fields, where:

• Character fields may contain letters, numbers, or blanks.

• Numeric fields must only contain numbers.

• Date fields must contain eight digits, be valid dates, and appear in the format CCYYMMDD (e.g., 19970131), where:

• CC = 2 digits for century

• YY = 2 digits for year

• MM = 2 digits for month

• DD = 2 digits for day

The following are the default values that are used for each type of field:

• Character fields—must be filled with spaces.

• Numeric fields—must be filled with zeroes.

• Date fields—must be filled with zeroes.

1. Layout Description

The following definitions explain the fields of the data elements.

Name—The data element or field name.

Loan Identifier—Denotes whether the field belongs to the set of data elements that together uniquely identify a loan (values in positions 4-60). These key Identifier fields, and their counterpart New Identifiers, are treated as a block. Changes made to one identifier require that all the identifiers be re-confirmed.

History Kept—Indicates whether history is kept for the data element. History is what you have reported in the past.

Reasonability—Determines the reasonability of guaranty agency’s monthly, quarterly, or annual financial reports. For fields that contain dates, this field should correspond to the dates used for financial reporting. For fields that contain amounts, this field should correspond to the amounts used in financial reporting.

Date Sequence Edit—Alerts you that date changes made to this field must fall within the acceptable range of dates, in relation to historical data that may exist in NSLDS for this loan, or they will cause Date Sequence Errors.

Type—Indicates whether a field is a character, numeric, or date field.

Size—The number of bytes in the field.

Position—The physical position of the data within the record type being defined (Header, Detail, Past Period Change).

Field Code—The number assigned to a given field in NSLDS and used in generating error messages.

Description—A short definition of the data element.

Comments—Additional remarks on handling data in the field.

Part of Event Type—Indicates whether the field is part of an event, and therefore linked to other fields that may be affected by changes made here. If the data element is associated with an event, the event name is given.

Companion Field(s)—Identifies the relationship this field has to other fields. These relationships may be:

• Linked through edit—This field checks the value in the listed companion field(s), (e.g., Date in one field must be earlier than/later than the date in the other). An error will result if the relationship does not fall within NSLDS expected parameters.

• Linked through event—Two or more data elements are related, because their meaning is lost if they are handled separately (e.g., Code for Loan Status and Date of Loan Status are both part of the event Loan Status). A change made to one field may affect the others in the event. The possible effect on all the related fields should be considered before a change is made to any one of them.

• Related Fields—The listed companion field checks the value contained in this field. If there is an error, it will occur in the field that checks the value of this field. This shows that a relationship exists with another field based on the value in this field. For example, Date of Guaranty is a related field that checks the value in the Submittal (Extract) Date field.

Default Value/Use—NSLDS interprets the presence of a default value in different ways, depending on the field with which it is associated. There are three possibilities: the default means the event has never occurred, it occurred in the past, or the event is not currently occurring. The specific usage associated with each data element is described in this field.

Reporting—Identifies when information should be reported (e.g., when event occurs, during regular cycle).

Edit Level—Identifies whether a data element is edited during Extract Validation (file-level or domain-level edits) or Load Validation (domain-, record-, and load-level edits).

Verifies—Explains what the verification process checks, with respect to the value contained in that field.

Error—Explains what errors would cause NSLDS to reject the update and return a message in the Load Level Error report.

Error Number—The Message Code number for the associated error.

Exit State Message (For Header Records only)—Assigned code number and associated text description of error. This description is for mainframe users only.

Error Message (For Detail Records only)—Text description of error.

Date Revised—Date when information associated with this data element was last revised. (Replacement pages are issued as the system is modified.)

2. Indexes

The following indexes list the data elements (or ‘fields’) described in this Data Dictionary in three different ways:

Index 1: Header Index (Sorted by Position)—Lists all the data elements in the order in which they appear in the document, which mirrors the position that the data occupies in the extract file.

Index 2: Detail Index (Sorted by Position)—Lists all the data elements in the order in which they appear in the document, which mirrors the position that the data occupies in the extract file.

Index 3: Detail Index (Sorted by Field Code Number)—Lists all the data elements according to their Field Code number. The Field Code number is a unique number that NSLDS has assigned to each field.

Index 4: Detail Index (Sorted Alphabetically by Field Name)—Lists all the data elements alphabetically by Field Name.

Index 5: Trailer Index (Sorted by Position)—Lists all the data elements in the order in which they appear in the document, which mirrors the position that the data occupies in the extract file.

Use the index that best meets your needs.

Student’s Social Security Number
Loan Identifier		History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
Yes		Yes		No	No			Character		9	4-12	021
Description					Title IV aid recipient or beneficiary’s Social Security Number.
Comments					May be a real or pseudo Social Security Number (SSN). A pseudo SSN may not be used in place of a real one if the Data Provider has the valid SSN. Whenever a real SSN is located for a borrower, the Data Provider must change the Pseudo SSN to the real SSN. SSN history should be maintained during SSN changes and updates. All student loan records should be merged into the current SSN by using the current and new identifier fields. Where a real SSN is not on file, a pseudo SSN must be generated for the record, as follows: The first position of the SSN must contain a ‘9’ to clearly identify the record as a pseudo SSN. The second through fourth positions must contain the Guaranty Agency’s code. Pseudo SSNs must be unique to each student, so one student’s records can be distinguished from another’s. Using the Guaranty Agency’s code will help ED to distinguish the pseudo SSNs reported by different agencies. If a pseudo SSN is used, it may not be substituted for a real SSN if the Data Provider has the real SSN. If a pseudo SSN is used, populate the student’s SSN Indicator (Field 074) with a ‘P’. When a loan is transferred to your agency from another and it identifies the student with a pseudo SSN, do not change the Guaranty Agency Code portion of the number that represents your own agency’s code. This will create a new record. Whenever a Social Security Number is reported, the system checks whether the number has already been reported to NSLDS. If not, the student is added to NSLDS. If it was previously reported, NSLDS uses the following match logic to confirm the identity of the person. 1. First Name and Date of Birth (DOB) matches. First Name Three of first four characters of first name on incoming record (excluding punctuation and spaces) match three of four characters of first name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history), or alias matches exactly. The letters must match in the same sequence. If fewer than three characters, all characters must match; and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. Note: When NSLDS performs the analysis on the three of first four characters in first name or five of first seven characters in last name, the letters must match in the same sequence. For example, Nary and Mary would match, as “ary” is in same sequential order. So would Maty and Mary, as “may” is in the same sequential order. 2. Transposed first name and last name with DOB match. Last Name Three of the first four characters of last name on incoming record (excluding punctuation and spaces) match three of first four characters of first name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history); and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. 3. Match on first initial of first name when NSLDS’ first name is only an initial and no other first names exist in NSLDS. First Name Incoming first name begins with same letter as NSLDS’ first initial (a name that is an initial only or an initial followed by a period, not a comma, and no first name in history); and Date of Birth Exact match and is not a plug date: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. (Note: If both incoming and NSLDS have same plug date, this is considered an exact match.) 4. Match on first initial and part of last name with DOB match. First Name First character of first name matches first character of first name or first initial (current or history); and Last Name Five of first seven characters of last name (excluding punctuation and spaces) match five of first seven characters of last name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history). If fewer than five characters, all characters must match; and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. For loans or grants made before 1-1-1997, incoming DOB is plug date and NSLDS DOB is a real date. Note: When NSLDS performs the analysis on the three of first four characters in first name or five of first seven characters in last name, the letters must match in the same sequence. For example, Nary and Mary would match, as “ary” is in same sequential order. So would Maty and Mary, as “may” is in the same sequential order. 5. Match on student SSN and a single loan is found using the non-student related identifiers. This loan was last reported on by the current provider. When this Loan Identifier information changes, leave the existing value in this field and report the new value in the New Student’s Social Security Number field (e.g., its counterpart New Identifier). Do this until the updated information is accepted by NSLDS. Once accepted, the updated value is reported in the standard Loan Identifier field and the New field is filled with the default value (zeroes or blanks). Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. Therefore, fill all the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along. Changes made to Identifiers are processed before Past Period Change records are processed. Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old. We recommend submitting PPC changes after the Identifier changes have passed NSLDS’ Load-Level edits (e.g., they do not appear on the subsequent Load Process Error File).

Description					Title IV aid recipient or beneficiary’s first name.
Comments					If first name exceeds 12 characters, drop characters in excess of 12. This field must contain a value greater than spaces and be left-justified. If student has no first name, enter value ‘NFN’. Do not enter personal titles (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Dr., Lt.) in this field. If NSLDS contains only an initial for this field (e.g., ‘J’ or ‘J.’) and a plug date of birth, it will not accept an update of the actual name (e.g., ‘Jane’) or Date of Birth from the agency because there is not enough specific information to ensure a proper match. However, if a real Date of Birth is on record, the Student’s First Name and Date of Birth fields may both be updated. After the Student’s First Name field is updated from an initial to the actual name, matches on the initial alone will no longer be possible. When this Loan Identifier information changes, leave the existing name in this field and report the new name in the ‘New Student’s First Name’ field (i.e., its counterpart ‘New’ Identifier). Do this until the updated information is accepted by NSLDS. Once accepted, the updated value is reported in the standard Loan Identifier field and the ‘New’ field is filled with the default value (zeroes or blanks). Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. Therefore, fill ALL the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along. Changes made to Identifiers are processed before Past Period Change records are processed. Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old. We recommend submitting PPC changes after the Identifier changes have passed all NSLDS edits (i.e., they do not appear on the subsequent Load Processing Error File).

Indicator of Separate Loan
Loan Identifier	History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
Yes	No		No	No			Character		1	43	026
Description				An indicator used to differentiate among multiple loans of the same type that have the same guaranty date for the same student attending the same school.
Comments				When a Guaranty Agency reports two or more loans that have identical values in all of the following fields – Student’s Social Security Number, Date of Student’s Birth, Student’s First Name, Type of Loan, Date of Guaranty, and Code for Original School – those loans are differentiated by the value in this field. The need to increment this indicator may also arise if another Guaranty Agency also reports on a loan that has that same guaranty date for the same student attending the same school. The indicator must be a single character, between ‘A’ and ‘Z’. It is recommended that you increment the indicator sequentially, starting with ‘A’. (For example, on the same date, you issue three loans that all have the same identifiers listed above. Loan 1 should have an Indicator of ‘A’, Loan 2 should be ‘B’, and Loan 3 should be ‘C’. Note that if you issue a fourth loan on another date – even if all the identifiers listed above are identical – you should start with ‘A’ again because the Date of Guaranty will be different.) It is recommended that you set the Indicator to ‘A’ if there is one loan being issued. This indicator must be reported every time data is submitted about the loan. When more than one loan exists for the same student, at the same school, with the same Date of Guaranty, and the only key identifier that differs between the loans is the PLUS Borrower’s SSN (e.g., one parent signed one loan, the second parent signed the other), the loans must be assigned different Indicators (e.g., ‘A’ and ‘B’). When the Indicator is used correctly, it is unlikely that it will reach maximum value. If you have reached ‘Z’, it may be because you have been incrementing the Indicator on non-identical records. When you get error 0526 in your Load Processing Error File, the ‘Value of Field in Error’ displays the next available Indicator of Separate Loan. When this Loan Identifier information changes, leave the existing value in this field and report the new value in the ‘New Indicator of Separate Loan’ field (i.e., its counterpart ‘New’ Identifier). Do this until the updated information is accepted by NSLDS. Once accepted, the updated value is reported in the standard Loan Identifier field and the ‘New’ field is filled with the default value (zeroes or blanks). Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. Therefore, fill ALL the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along. Changes made to Identifiers are processed before Past Period Change records are processed. Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old. We recommend submitting PPC changes after the Identifier changes have passed all NSLDS edits (i.e., they do not appear on the subsequent Load Processing Error File). On November 13, 1997, the Emergency Student Loan Consolidation Act of 1997 was enacted. This legislative action allows guaranty agencies to include Federal Direct Loans in FFELP Consolidation Loans. Several guaranty agencies have questioned the impact of this new legislation on NSLDS reporting. NSLDS does not presently require any changes to NSLDS reporting. However, since the HEAL portion of a Consolidation loan has a different interest cap, and borrowers retain subsidy on any subsidized portion of the underlying loans, many lenders and servicers must separate these balances from the rest of the loan for servicing purposes. When separate loans must be created and the lender/servicer is unable to aggregate totals for NSLDS reporting, most agencies maintain the loan(s) in the same manner as the lender/servicer does in order to prevent loan matching problems. When this occurs, NSLDS requests that the guaranty agency report the loans so it is easy to recognize that the multiple consolidation loans for a single borrower are, in fact, a single consolidation. NSLDS requests that all of the unaggregated loans have the same Date of Guaranty and a different Indicator of Separate Loans. Take, for example, the case of a borrower consolidating loans totaling $50,000. The loan is composed of HEAL, Stafford subsidized, and Stafford unsubsidized, and the lender is unable to aggregate the totals for NSLDS reporting. NSLDS requests that the loans be reported as Underlying Date of Loan Indicator Total Loan Guaranty Type of Separate Loan HEAL 3/15/98 CL A $25,000 Stafford sub 3/15/98 CL B 12,000 Stafford unsub 3/15/98 CL C 3,000

PLUS Borrower’s Social Security Number
Loan Identifier		History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
Yes		Yes		No	No			Character		9	52-60	028
Description					PLUS Borrower’s Social Security Number.
Comments					May be a real or pseudo Social Security Number (SSN). Whenever a real SSN is located for a borrower, the Data Provider must change the Pseudo SSN to the real SSN. SSN history should be maintained during SSN changes and updates. All student loan records should be merged into the current SSN by using the current and new identifier fields. Where a real SSN is not on file, a pseudo SSN must be generated for the record, as follows: The first position of the SSN must contain a ‘9’ to clearly identify the record as a pseudo SSN. The second through fourth positions must contain the Guaranty Agency’s code. Pseudo SSNs must be unique to each borrower , so one borrower’s records can be distinguished from another’s. Using the Guaranty Agency’s code will help ED to distinguish the pseudo SSNs reported by different agencies. A pseudo SSN may not be used in place of a real one if the Data Provider has the real SSN. When a loan is transferred to your agency from another and it identifies the borrower with a pseudo SSN, do not change the Guaranty Agency Code portion of the number to your own agency’s code. Whenever a PLUS Borrower’s SSN is reported, the system checks whether the number has already been reported to NSLDS. If not, the student is added to NSLDS. If it was previously reported, NSLDS uses the following match logic to confirm the identity of the PLUS borrower. 1. First Name and Date of Birth (DOB) matches. First Name Three of first four characters of first name on incoming record (excluding punctuation and spaces) match three of four characters of first name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history), or alias matches exactly. The letters must match in the same sequence. If fewer than three characters, all characters must match; and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. Note: When NSLDS performs the analysis on the three of first four characters in first name or five of first seven characters in last name, the letters must match in the same sequence. For example, Nary and Mary would match, as “ary” is in same sequential order. So would Maty and Mary, as “may” is in the same sequential order. 2. Transposed first name and last name with DOB match. Last Name Three of the first four characters of last name on incoming record (excluding punctuation and spaces) match three of first four characters of first name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history); and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. 3. Match on first initial of first name when NSLDS’ first name is only an initial and no other first names exist in NSLDS. First Name Incoming first name begins with same letter as NSLDS’ first initial (a name that is an initial only or an initial followed by a period, not a comma, and no first name in history); and Date of Birth Exact match and is not a plug date: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. (Note: If both incoming and NSLDS have same plug date, this is considered an exact match.) 4. Match on first initial and part of last name with DOB match. First Name First character of first name matches first character of first name or first initial (current or history); and Last Name Five of first seven characters of last name (excluding punctuation and spaces) match five of first seven characters of last name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history). If fewer than five characters, all characters must match; and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. For loans or grants made before 1-1-1997, incoming DOB is plug date and NSLDS DOB is a real date. Note: When NSLDS performs the analysis on the three of first four characters in first name or five of first seven characters in last name, the letters must match in the same sequence. For example, Nary and Mary would match, as “ary” is in same sequential order. So would Maty and Mary, as “may” is in the same sequential order. 5. Match on student SSN, and a single loan or grant overpayment is found using the non-student related identifiers. This loan or grant overpayment was last reported on by the current provider. When more than one loan exists for the same student, at the same school, with the same Date of Guaranty, and the only key identifier that differs between the loans is the PLUS Borrower’s SSN (e.g., Where one parent signed one loan, the second parent signed the other – as opposed to an inconsistency or error with the number itself), each of the loans must be assigned a different Indicator of Separate Loan. When this Loan Identifier information changes which includes a change from one parent to the other, leave the existing value in this field and report the new value in the ‘New PLUS Borrower’s Social Security Number’ field (i.e., its counterpart ‘New’ Identifier). Do this until the updated information is accepted by NSLDS. Once accepted, the updated value is reported in the standard Loan Identifier field and the ‘New’ field is filled with the default value (zeroes or blanks). Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. Therefore, fill ALL the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along. Changes made to Identifiers are processed before Past Period Change records are processed. Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old. We recommend submitting PPC changes after the Identifier changes have passed all NSLDS Load Processing Error File (i.e., they do not appear on the subsequent Load Processing Error File).

Comments					Set this field to ‘F’ to force Delta Processing to submit a record to NSLDS even though no changes were made to it since the last submittal. (Typically, you would use this if you received a Load Processing Error File for this record, but after review you determined the information previously sent was correct. This could occur because a SSN conflict was resolved, a school code was added, or NSLDS modified the edits, thus clearing the condition that caused the error in the first place.) Note that setting this to ‘F’ will only apply to the next submittal. If you need to re-send it again, you need to reset the value to ‘F’. Setting the Action Code to ‘F’ does not bypass normal edits, it just causes the record to be re-sent to NSLDS. If no special conditions pertain, leave it blank. Delta processing will set it to ‘A’ (Add) or ‘C’ (Change).

New Student’s Social Security Number
Loan Identifier		History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
Yes (New)		Yes		No	No			Character		9	63-71	041
Description					Title IV aid recipient or beneficiary’s Social Security Number.
Comments					May be a real or pseudo Social Security Number (SSN). A pseudo SSN may not be used in place of a real one if the Data Provider has the real SSN. Whenever a real SSN is located for a borrower, the Data Provider must change the Pseudo SSN to the real SSN. SSN history should be maintained during SSN changes and updates. All student loan records should be merged into the current SSN by using the current and new identifier fields. Where a real SSN is not on file, a pseudo SSN must be generated for the record, as follows: The first position of the SSN must contain a ‘9’ to clearly identify the record as a pseudo SSN. The second through fourth positions must contain the Guaranty Agency’s code. Pseudo SSNs must be unique to each student, so one student’s records can be distinguished from another’s. Using the Guaranty Agency’s code will help ED to distinguish the pseudo SSNs reported by different agencies. If a pseudo SSN is used, it may not be substituted for a real SSN if the Data Provider has the real SSN. If a pseudo SSN is used, populate the student’s SSN Indicator (Field 074) with a ‘P’. When a loan is transferred to your agency from another and it identifies the student with a pseudo SSN, do not change the Guaranty Agency Code portion of the number to your own agency’s code. This will create a new record. Whenever a SSN is reported, the system checks whether the number has already been reported to NSLDS. If not, the student is added to NSLDS. If it was previously reported, NSLDS uses the following match logic to confirm the identity of the person. 1. First Name and Date of Birth (DOB) matches. First Name Three of first four characters of first name on incoming record (excluding punctuation and spaces) match three of four characters of first name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history), or alias matches exactly. The letters must match in the same sequence. If fewer than three characters, all characters must match; and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. Note: When NSLDS performs the analysis on the three of first four characters in first name or five of first seven characters in last name, the letters must match in the same sequence. For example, Nary and Mary would match, as “ary” is in same sequential order. So would Maty and Mary, as “may” is in the same sequential order. 2. Transposed first name and last name with DOB match. Last Name Three of the first four characters of last name on incoming record (excluding punctuation and spaces) match three of first four characters of first name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history); and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. 3. Match on first initial of first name when NSLDS’ first name is only an initial and no other first names exist in NSLDS. First Name Incoming first name begins with same letter as NSLDS’ first initial (a name that is an initial only or an initial followed by a period, not a comma, and no first name in history); and Date of Birth Exact match and is not a plug date: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. (Note: If both incoming and NSLDS have same plug date, this is considered an exact match.) 4. Match on first initial and part of last name with DOB match. First Name First character of first name matches first character of first name or first initial (current or history); and Last Name Five of first seven characters of last name (excluding punctuation and spaces) match five of first seven characters of last name (excluding punctuation and spaces) in NSLDS (current or history). If fewer than five characters, all characters must match; and Date of Birth Year matches exactly; or Year matches plus or minus one, with month matching exactly; or Year matches plus or minus ten, with month and day matching exactly; or Incoming DOB is real and NSLDS’ DOB is one of the following plug dates: 19000101, 18991231, 18581117, 19581117, 19040404, 19600101, or 19??1111, where ?? can be any year. For loans or grants made before 1-1-1997, incoming DOB is plug date and NSLDS DOB is a real date. Note: When NSLDS performs the analysis on the three of first four characters in first name or five of first seven characters in last name, the letters must match in the same sequence. For example, Nary and Mary would match, as “ary” is in same sequential order. So would Maty and Mary, as “may” is in the same sequential order. 5. Match on student SSN, and a single loan or grant overpayment is found using the non-student related identifiers. This loan or grant overpayment was last reported on by the current provider. When this Loan Identifier information changes, leave the existing value in this field and report the new value in the New Student’s Social Security Number field (e.g., its counterpart New Identifier). Do this until the updated information is accepted by NSLDS. Once accepted, the updated value is reported in the standard Loan Identifier field and the New field is filled with the default value (zeroes or blanks). Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. Therefore, fill all the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along. Changes made to Identifiers are processed before Past Period Change records are processed. Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old. We recommend submitting PPC changes after the Identifier changes have passed NSLDS’ Load-Level edits (e.g., they do not appear on the subsequent Load Process Error File).

Comments					When a Guaranty Agency reports two or more loans that have identical values in all of the following fields – Student’s Social Security Number, Date of Student’s Birth, Student’s First Name, Type of Loan, Date of Guaranty, and Code for Original School – those loans are differentiated by the value in this field. The need to increment this indicator may also arise if another Guaranty Agency also reports on a loan that has that same guaranty date for the same student attending the same school. The indicator must be a single character, between ‘A’ and ‘Z’. It is recommended that you increment the indicator sequentially, starting with ‘A’. (For example, on the same date, you issue three loans that all have the same identifiers listed above. Loan 1 should have an Indicator of ‘A’, Loan 2 should be ‘B’, and Loan 3 should be ‘C’. Note that if you issue a fourth loan on another date – even if all the identifiers listed above are identical – you should start with ‘A’ again because the Date of Guaranty will be different.) It is recommended that you set the Indicator to ‘A’ even when there is only one loan being issued. This indicator must be reported every time data is submitted about the loan. When more than one loan exists for the same student, at the same school, with the same Date of Guaranty, and the only key identifier that differs between the loans is the PLUS Borrower’s SSN (e.g., one parent signed one loan, the second parent signed the other), the loans should be assigned different Indicators (e.g., ‘A’ and ‘B’). When the indicator of separate loan changes, leave the previously reported value in the ‘Indicator of Separate Loan’ field, and report the new value here. Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. To permit this, you must fill ALL the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along. Changes made to Identifiers are processed before Past Period Change records are processed. Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old. We recommend submitting PPC changes after the Identifier changes have passed all NSLDS edits (i.e., they do not appear on the subsequent Load Processing Error File).

If the Type of Loan is ‘RF’, use 88888811. When the code for original school changes, leave the previously reported code in the ‘Code for Original School’ field, and report the new code here. Do not replace a previously reported actual value with a plug or default value. Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. To permit this, you must fill ALL the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along.

Yes (New)		Yes		No	No		Character		9	111-119	048
Description					PLUS Borrower’s Social Security Number.
Comments					May be a real or pseudo Social Security Number (SSN). Whenever a real SSN is located for a borrower, the Data Provider must change the Pseudo SSN to the real SSN. SSN history should be maintained during SSN changes and updates. All student loan records should be merged into the current SSN by using the current and new identifier fields. Where a real SSN is not on file, a pseudo SSN must be generated for the record, as follows The first position of the SSN must contain a ‘9’ to clearly identify the record as a pseudo SSN. The second through fourth positions must contain the Guaranty Agency’s code. Pseudo SSNs must be unique to each borrower , so one borrower’s records can be distinguished from another’s. Using the Guaranty Agency’s code will help ED to distinguish the pseudo SSNs reported by different agencies. A pseudo SSN may not be substituted for a real one if the Data Provider has the real SSN. When a loan is transferred to your agency from another and it identifies the borrower with a pseudo SSN, do not change the Guaranty Agency Code portion of the number to your own agency’s code. This will create a new record. When the PLUS Borrower’s SSN changes, which includes a change from one parent to the other or a change in co-borrowers, leave the previously reported value in the ‘PLUS Borrower’s Social Security Number’ field, and report the new value here. Changes made to Loan Identifier fields are mapped as a block, so when the information contained in one of the key data elements is changed, the information belonging in all of them must be re-confirmed. To permit this, you must fill ALL the New Identifier fields (listed below) for this loan with the values that they should contain  whether those values are new ones or the ones that you have been reporting all along.

Therefore, if you are submitting an Identifier change and a PPC against the same loan record in the same reporting cycle, the PPC should refer to the New Identifiers, not the old.

Description					Date when loan entered repayment or is scheduled to enter repayment for cohort default rate purposes.
Comments					For Stafford loans, report the day after the end of the initial grace period, regardless of whether the borrower actually begins making payments that day (or report an earlier date if the borrower is granted a repayment schedule that starts before then). For PLUS and Refinanced loans, report the date the loan is fully disbursed. For Consolidation loans, report the date of first disbursement (additional disbursements can be made for 180 days). This date should not be modified as a result of deferments or forbearance. Once the loan has entered repayment, this date should not be changed, except to correct an error. (Do not replace an original Date Entered Repayment with the date associated with a new loan, or the date the borrower resumes repayment after deferment or forbearance.) If a student has both an SLS loan and a Stafford loan that were obtained during the same period of continuous enrollment, the Date Entered Repayment for the SLS loan is the same as for the Stafford Loan. In all other instances, the Date Entered Repayment for a SLS loan is the day after the student stops being enrolled at least half-time. Abbreviated DER.

If Date of Guaranty occurred between January 1, 1984 and October 1994, you may report the Date of Disbursement as one day later than the Date of Guaranty (e.g., Use Sept. 5, 1994 for a loan guaranteed Sept. 4, 1994). With loans guaranteed before July 1, 1995, you may report the scheduled disbursement date instead of the actual disbursement date. Do not replace a previously reported actual value with a plug or default value. If the Amount of Disbursement is zero, there may be a value in Date of Disbursement.

As a minimum, Guaranty Agencies must collect deferment information as it stands at the end of each quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31). This data must be forwarded to NSLDS before the end of the next quarter. The dates when deferments start and stop may overlap for different periods in relation to another deferment (e.g., first deferment is 01-10-95 through 07-20-95 and second deferment is 07-01-95 through 12-30-95). You may, but are not required to, discontinue reporting Type of Deferment, Date Deferment Starts, and Date Deferment Stops after the deferment has ended. In this case, populate these three fields with default values. Date sequence rules are still applied to this date in relation to historical start-date data and Date of Loan Status. The Date Deferment Starts may not precede the date associated with a ‘DA’ Loan Status Code. Date sequence edits are not applied against this field if zeroes are reported for a loan no longer in deferment. For SLS loans, GAs must report Date Deferment Starts and Date Deferment Stops as the actual date plus 7000 years when using DataPrep Version 1.0. Optional with DataPrep Version 2.0. or later. (This practice was implemented to accommodate a change in the NSLDS definition of Date Entered Repayment (Date of Maturity) for SLS loans, since technically SLS Date Deferment Starts the day after the loan is disbursed.

Description					The reason the latest reinsurance claim, including supplemental insurance, was paid to a Guaranty Agency. Reasons include borrower death, disability, bankruptcy, default, closed school, false certification, or exempt.
Comments					Must be a valid code from the Claim Reasons Code Table (Appendix B– Table B-2). Update this field whenever there is change in the reason (may be non-monetary) for reinsurance or supplemental reinsurance. For example: the original reinsurance claim reason was due to Default (DF), but later the borrower becomes bankrupt, this field would be updated to Bankruptcy other(BO). Even though the rate may not change, update this field if there is a change in the reason. A Reinsurance Claim Payment made before a repurchase date does not need to be continually reported after repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether blanks reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date Reinsurance Claim Requested, blanks reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values.

If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the last-reported Date Reinsurance Claim Requested (meaning that a new reinsurance claim payment occurred after the repurchase), blanks will be interpreted as a request to delete the Reinsurance Claim Payment that occurred after the repurchase.

However, the data provider must first ensure the refund has been successfully updated to NSLDS before ceasing to report on it. Be especially alert to this when the refund is followed quickly by repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether zeroes reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date of Refund on Claims, zeroes reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values. (NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the current Date of Refund on Claims (meaning that a new insurance claim refund occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the Insurance Claim Refund that occurred after the repurchase.

Description				The cumulative dollar amount of reinsurance refund(s) from the GA due to an overpayment of lender claim, overstated reinsurance request, late refunds from the institution to the lender or borrower payments to the lender—A refund is reported only if reinsurance has been requested.. Amount does not include refunds that were made prior to repurchase.
Comments				This field applies only to payments, overpayments, or school refunds forwarded to the GA by the lender after reinsurance has been requested or an overstated reinsurance request has been made. If the GA receives a borrower payment from the lender after an insurance claim was paid, but prior to reinsurance being requested, reduce the Amount Reinsurance Requested. If the GA receives payment on behalf of the borrower from any source other than a lender after the lender claim payment, report as a collection in the Amount of Guaranty Agency Principal Collections. Report whole dollars, no cents (e.g., report $2,500.25 as ‘002500’). If required data is carried by the Data Provider at the account level, the amount must be pro-rated across the loans involved. If a rounding problem is created by pro-rating the amount, adjustments may be made to one loan so that the pro-rated amount at each loan level equals the total amount at account level. Guaranty Agencies should report late refunds (e.g., refunds that occur after a default or other claim has been paid to the lender) regardless of whether the refund is actually sent to the GA by the lender or the school. The value in this field does not include the repurchase amount from the lender. An Insurance Claim Refund made before the repurchase date does not need to be continually reported after repurchase. However, the data provider must first ensure the refund has been successfully updated to NSLDS before ceasing to report on it. Be especially alert to this when the refund is followed quickly by repurchase. When a refund is paid after repurchase, only report the amount that was refunded after the repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether zeroes reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date of Refund on Claims, zeroes reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values. (NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the current Date of Refund on Claims (meaning that a new insurance claim refund occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the Insurance Claim Refund that occurred after the repurchase.

Description				Date when a Guaranty Agency paid an original insurance claim or the date of any additional claims to a lender.
Comments				Report the actual Date Claim Paid. An Insurance Claim Payment made before a repurchase date does not need to be continually reported after repurchase. However, the data provider must first ensure the payment has been successfully updated to NSLDS before ceasing to report on it. Be especially alert to this when the payment is followed quickly by repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether zeroes reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date Claim Paid, zeroes reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values. (NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the current Date Claim Paid (meaning that a new insurance claim payment occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the Insurance Claim Payment that occurred after the repurchase. Submit a Past Period Change record (PPC) to delete a payment that occurred before the latest Date of Repurchase.

Amount of Claim Paid to Lender
Loan Identifier	History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
No	Yes		Yes	No			Numeric		6	405-410	107
Description				The cumulative amount of principal and interest including any additional principal and interest paid on the claim to a lender by a Guaranty Agency for an insurance claim on loan. Amount does not include claims that were made prior to repurchase.
Comments				Report whole dollars, no cents (e.g., report $2,500.25 as ‘002500’). Include the following in this field: Principal and interest paid to lender for example: The borrower defaults on a $10,000 loan. The Amount of Claim Paid to the Lender (based on the 2% federal risk sharing), is $9,800.00, Later the Lender realizes that they did not include $100 in accrued interest. The Amount of Claim Paid to lender would be updated to $9,898.00 and the Date of Claim Payment would be updated to the date the additional claim amount was paid to the lender. Do not report in this field Closed School or False Certification claims paid directly to borrowers. If required data is carried by the Data Provider at the account level, the amount must be pro-rated across the loans involved. If a rounding problem is created by pro-rating the amount, adjustments may be made to one loan so that the pro-rated amount at each loan level equals the total amount at account level. An Insurance Claim Payment made before a repurchase date does not need to be continually reported after repurchase. However, the data provider must first ensure the payment has been successfully updated to NSLDS before ceasing to report on it. Be especially alert to this when the payment is followed quickly by repurchase. When a claim is paid after repurchase, only report the amount that was paid after the repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether zeroes reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date Claim Paid, zeroes reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values. (NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the current Date Claim Paid (meaning that a new insurance claim payment occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the Insurance Claim Payment that occurred after the repurchase.

Amount of Reinsurance Claim Requested
Loan Identifier	History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
No	Yes		Yes	No			Numeric		6	433-438	116
Description				The total amount of original and additional reinsurance claim requested of ED by a Guaranty Agency. Amount does not include claims that were made prior to repurchase.
Comments				Report whole dollars, no cents (e.g., report $2,500.25 as ‘002500’). The total reimbursement request amount is calculated by multiplying amount paid to lenders on claims by the appropriate reinsurance reimbursement rate, and taking into consideration whether or not the agency has hit either their 5% or 9% trigger. If the GA receives a payment on behalf of the borrower, from the lender, after an insurance claim was paid, but prior to reinsurance being requested, reduce this amount by the payment amount. If the GA receives payment on behalf of the borrower from any source other than a lender after the lender claim payment, report as a collection in the Amount of Guaranty Agency Principal Collections. An example: the lender request to the guarantor on default (not exempt, or LLR) first disbursed on or after 10/1/1998 a claim amount $10,000.The lender is paid $9,800 (based a 2% risk share). The Amount Of Reinsurance Claim Requested is $9,800 x 95% or $9,310. If required data is carried by the Data Provider at the account level, the amount must be pro-rated across the loans involved. If a rounding problem is created by pro-rating the amount, adjustments may be made to one loan so that the pro-rated amount at each loan level equals the total amount at account level. This amount does not include the amount requested for supplemental reinsurance on the loan. A Reinsurance Claim Payment made before a Repurchase Date does not need to be continually reported after repurchase. When a claim is requested after repurchase, only report the amount that was paid after the repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether zeroes reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date Reinsurance Claim Requested, zeroes reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values. (NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the last-reported Date Reinsurance Claim Requested (meaning that a new reinsurance claim payment occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the Reinsurance Claim Payment that occurred after the repurchase.

The Amount of Supplemental Claim Requested will be $49.00 (the 5% difference on the Amount of Claim Paid to Lender). If required data is carried by the Data Provider at the account level, the amount must be pro-rated across the loans involved. If a rounding problem is created by pro-rating the amount, adjustments may be made to one loan so that the pro-rated amount at each loan level equals the total amount at account level.

Comments					Must be ‘Y’ (Yes) only if a loan was rehabilitated and repurchased. Must be ‘E’ if Insurance Claim Payment was made in error. Report a blank for other repurchased loans. Once reported with ‘E’ the batch process will not overlay this field to blank. If an ‘E’ is reported in error and the correct value is blank, the change must be made online or by deleting the repurchase in one submission and then reporting the correct repurchase in a subsequent submission.

Description				Date when the Guaranty Agency last applied default collections (excluding TOP) or bankruptcy recovery to the loan principal and/or interest.
Comments				Report the actual Date of Guaranty Agency Principal/Interest Collections. If a student or borrower’s check gets returned as NSF, and the collection did not therefore really occur, reinstate the last successful collection as the current value. A Collection from Borrower made before a Repurchase Date does not need to be continually reported after repurchase. However, the data provider must first ensure the collection has been successfully updated to NSLDS before ceasing to report on it. Be especially alert to this when the collection is followed quickly by repurchase. The Date Repurchased value for a loan will determine whether zeroes reported in this field will cause the event to be deleted or to be interpreted as a default value. If Date Repurchased is later than the last-reported Date of Guaranty Agency Principal / Interest Collections, zeroes reported in this field will NOT delete those previously reported values. (NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) If the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the current Date of Guaranty Agency Principal/Interest Collections (meaning that new collections occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the collection that occurred after the repurchase. Submit a Past Period Change record (PPC) to delete a collection that occurred before the latest Date of Repurchase. NSLDS assesses the submittal file to determine whether at least 30% of the loans with claim-related data plus the loans in error have a collection. If they do, then all collection data are processed without consideration of preceding date errors.

No	Yes		Yes	No			Date		8	532-539	135
Description				Date when Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance field was updated or verified.
Comments				For GA-held loans, report the date of the most recent change in the principal balance. The balance will change when there is a payment or other event affecting the principal balance. For lender-held loans, report the actual Date of Outstanding Principal Balance. Guaranty Agencies should report lender updates to balances monthly. At a minimum, they must collect balance information monthly. This data must be forwarded to NSLDS in their next submission. Use Date of Guaranty for loans that have been guaranteed but not yet disbursed. When the Guaranty Agency has not yet received the actual lender/servicer values for the Date of Outstanding Principal Balance and Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance, it may use the Department’s approved method for temporarily plugging these values. That is, the Date of Outstanding Principal Balance and the Date of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance fields should be populated with the date of the last disbursement. The Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance field should be populated with the net disbursement amount, and the Amount of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance field should be populated with a zero amount, until the more current amounts can be reported. The net disbursement amount is the Amount of Disbursement (which is minus the Amount of Cancellation) minus the Amount of Refund from School to Lender. For closed loans, Date of Outstanding Principal Balance should equal Date of Loan Status. Once a loan is closed, the date should not be changed again except to correct a reporting error. For cancellations do not revert Date of Outstanding Principal Balance back to the guarantee date. Report date of cancellation or submittal date while reporting appropriate loan status code, disbursement amount, calculation amount and cancellation amount.

Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance
Loan Identifier		History Kept		Reason-ability	Date Sequence Edit			Type		Size	Position	Field Code
No		Yes		Yes	No			Numeric		6	540-545	136
Description					The cumulative dollar value of the outstanding principal balance due on a loan, including capitalized interest.
Comments					Report whole dollars, no cents (e.g., report $2,500.25 as ‘002500’). If required data is carried by the Data Provider at the account level, the amount must be pro-rated across the loans involved. If a rounding problem is created by pro-rating the amount, adjustments may be made to one loan so that the pro-rated amount at each loan level equals the total amount at account level. If the amount is less than a dollar, round it up to one dollar. Report negative amounts (credit balance) as one dollar until the loan is closed. If the loan has been guaranteed but not disbursed, report zeroes. If an open loan has been disbursed for longer than one quarter, the sum of Amount of Ending Balance on Claims of Other Fees, plus Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance, plus Amount of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance must be a positive amount. If Code for Loan Status is ‘UI’ report the original principal balance (amount guaranteed minus cancellations). Closed loans (except for ‘DW’, see below) must have a balance of zero in this field. Defaulted, written-off loans (‘DW’ status) must have a positive balance in at least one of these fields: Amount of Ending Balance on Claims of Other Fees, Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance, or Amount of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance. For GA-held loans, report updated OPB monthly. For lender-held loans, Guaranty Agencies should report lender updates to balances monthly. This data must be forwarded to NSLDS in their next submission. When the Guaranty Agency has not yet received the actual lender/servicer values for the Date of Outstanding Principal Balance and Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance, it may use the Department’s approved method for temporarily plugging these values. That is, the Date of Outstanding Principal Balance and the Date of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance fields should be populated with the date of the last disbursement. The Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance field should be populated with the net disbursement amount, and the Amount of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance field should be populated with a zero amount, until the more current amounts can be reported. The net disbursement amount is the Amount of Disbursement (which is minus the Amount of Cancellation) minus the Amount of Refund From School to Lender. The most common cause for error 313, Invalid Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance, is reporting a closed loan status to NSLDS when the principal is paid but fees or interest are still owed. The agency may consider a loan closed when there is a remaining balance of accrued interest or fees in their system. However, NSLDS does not consider a loan closed until the Sum of the Amount of Outstanding Accrued Interest Balance, Amount of Outstanding GA fees Balance, and Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance is zero. It is important to remember that during the subrogation process the borrower still has a balance and that this does not change because of the debt’s assignment. To eliminate these errors, continue reporting the actual Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance and Date of Outstanding Principal Balance until the loan is accepted by the Department of Education. The agency’s internal procedures for assigning loans to the Department may be the cause of errors. During the period between submitting the record for assignment and the Department’s acceptance of the loan, the agency will maintain the loan on its system as an open loan in Default (DU) status, with either zero or no balance. These loans will be captured during the extract process and cause the following errors: Invalid Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance or Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance Is Required. For loans assigned to CDDTS, report the actual dollar amount. If zeros are reported, NSLDS will use the Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance that previously existed in the database. If the loan has a balance of less than $25.00 and is considered closed by the agency, the balance reported to NSLDS must be zero for all three fields (principal, interest, and fees).

However, the data provider must first ensure the refund has been successfully updated to NSLDS before ceasing to report on it.

(NSLDS will store the last-reported data, and GAs can stop reporting on a loan that has been repurchased.) However, if the Date Repurchased is the same as or earlier than the current Date of Guaranty Agency Bankruptcy Claim Refunds (meaning that new collections occurred after the repurchase), zeroes will be interpreted as a request to delete the Bankruptcy Claim Refund that occurred after the repurchase.
