In the near future, the Conference Planning, Local Arrangements, and Mid-Level committees will post information about important events which will occur before and during the conference. ?Boot Camp chair, Mendy Schmerer, has already shared with the membership the ?reasons to attend the ever popular Boot Camp, November 7 - 9 . New this year are two additional conference registration opportunities; one -day and non-member. ? Financial aid professionals who are not current SWASFAA members can attend the conference with a non-member registration. For current ?members or non-members who find that they can only get away from the office for a short period of time, the one day registration is an option. ? Of course, our hope is that non-member attendees become members due to their awesome conference experience.

(I know, the DOE should check this when they apply for the PLUS, but as FSA, they said that they don't and that we have to.) So, we are in the process of checking parent borrowers for loan default and we have two already. They have loans in default from the 80s and 90s, so now we get to make the awkward calls to tell them they cannot get the PLUS loan that they were approved for on the studentloans.gov site. Does anyone have a script or letter that they send? We will call them because classes start soon and they need to figure out what they can do to resolve the issue or find another option to pay, but I'd like to send a letter for documentation purposes as well.

Message-ID: Apparently there was a webinar recently in which some viewers understood that schools do not have to check for PLUS defaults. I know mixed messages and conflicting answers never happen, but it's possible it did in this case. [?] So, I looked it up on askregs to see what it said and this is what I found. (Don't shoot the messenger.) Is the Self-Certification on StudentLoans.gov Sufficient for Verifying a Parent PLUS Borrower's Default Status? No. Self-certification is not acceptable, even if done via studentloans.gov. The school must still check NSLDS to ensure the parent borrower is not in default on any Title IV loans before you may originate a parent PLUS.

(HSC) Subject: [SWASFAA Team Chatter] Boot Camp Fills Financial Need SWASFAA Team Chatter has posted a new item, 'Boot Camp Fills Financial Need' Hello SWASFAA, my name is Jan and I think I might need help.? Don?t tell anybody, but I?m a repeat Boot Camper.? I like the help I get from seasoned financial aid professionals.? What is it about Boot Camp that makes it so irresistible? Maybe it?s the focused learning environment or the amount of info that?s covered in a short period of time or? could it be something else? I know - maybe it?s the great themes they come up with each year. Survivor was the theme the first year I went. I was so new to financial aid, I had no idea how prophetic that would turn out to be! Boot camp definitely provided the glue that helped me fit all those pieces of regulations and policies together. While I may not have Outwitted or even Outplayed, maybe I can say I?ve at least Outlasted. Is this Your First Rodeo was my next experience. I got a real kick out of that one. Let?s just say it was far beyond any ?firsts? for me. But that particular year, it did kind of feel like there was a new sheriff in town and maybe I wasn?t too seasoned to at least hear about the new rules. Wow, what a surprise -there were some areas where my prior knowledge had slipped a little bit. How did that happen? This year?s theme seems really great, Building Financial Aid Knowledge One Brick at a Time. Whether you need those bricks to begin building your knowledge, or like me, you could benefit from some foundation stabilizing; boot camp is the place for you November 7th 8th and 9th at the historic Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City.
