I wanted to pass this along because I saw it this morning and I’m not sure if all of our OASFAA members are aware of this legislative information. Not huge info but interesting. https://www.kswo.com/2026/10/22/oklahoma-state-regents-request-80-million-increase-higher-education/ Blessings, SHALA J.

Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:35:24 +0000 Subject: [Oasfaa] Default Letters Message-ID: How are schools processing aid using the loan default letters clearing the default, but not updated in NSLDS? Are there any schools that wait for NSLDS to be updated prior to disbursing aid? Do you have a staff member that calls to verify the loans are still in good standing before each disbursement? How do you identify the students prior to disbursing the aid? Anything that you can share will be greatly appreciated.

If it is a standard "no longer in default" letter, we do not call to recheck. However, if it is a loan rehabilitation, we will call the Loan Servicer to make sure the student has continued on the payment plan. Generally, the default is off of NSLDS by the time any future disbursements are due if the student has finished their rehab period. If the default still shows when the next award year/disbursent date comes around, we would call again to make sure the rehab payments were fully met. Most of our students finish the rehab period if they have gone far enough to become eligible for aid because it is just four more payments to clear the default after the six required for aid eligibility. Hopefully this helps.
