Must Submit Verification Outcomes for
Certain Students.
Table A provides information and

a duplicate SAR is September 14, 2019.
For all title IV, HEA programs, an ISIR
or SAR for the student must be received
by the institution no later than the
student’s last date of enrollment for the
2018–2019 award year or September 21,
2019, whichever is earlier. Note that a
FAFSA must be submitted and an ISIR
or SAR received for the dependent
student for whom a parent is applying
for a Direct PLUS Loan.
Except for students selected for
Verification Tracking Groups V4 and
V5, verification documents must be
received by the institution no later than
120 days after the student’s last date of
enrollment for the 2018–2019 award
year or September 21, 2019, whichever

and high school completion status
verification results no later than 60 days
following the institution’s first request
to the student to submit the
documentation.
For all title IV, HEA programs except
for (1) Direct PLUS Loans that will be
made to parent borrowers, and (2) Direct
Unsubsidized Loans that will be made
to dependent students who have been
determined by the institution, pursuant
to section 479A(a) of the HEA, to be
eligible for such a loan without
providing parental information on the
FAFSA, the ISIR or SAR must have an
official expected family contribution
(EFC) and the ISIR or SAR must be
received by the institution no later than

paragraph but the ISIR or SAR is not
required to have an official EFC.

programs or for a student requesting
Direct Subsidized Loans, who does not
meet the conditions for a late
disbursement under 34 CFR 668.164(j),
a valid ISIR or valid SAR must be
received by the institution by the
student’s last date of enrollment for the
2018–2019 award year or September 21,
2019, whichever is earlier.
In accordance with 34 CFR
668.164(j)(4)(i), an institution may not
make a late disbursement of title IV,
HEA program funds later than 180 days
after the date of the institution’s
determination that the student was no
longer enrolled. Table A provides that,
to make a late disbursement of title IV,
HEA program funds, an institution must
receive a valid ISIR or valid SAR no
later than 180 days after its
determination that the student was no

September 21, 2019.
Table B—2018–2019 Award Year Pell
Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service
Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant
Programs Deadline Dates for
Disbursement by Institutions.
For the Pell Grant, Iraq and
Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct Loan,
and TEACH Grant programs, Table B
provides the earliest disbursement date,
the earliest dates for institutions to
submit disbursement records to the
Department’s Common Origination and
Disbursement (COD) System, and
deadline dates by which institutions
must submit disbursement and
origination records.
An institution must submit Pell Grant,
Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant,
Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant
disbursement records to COD, no later
than 15 days after making the
disbursement or becoming aware of the
need to adjust a previously reported
disbursement. In accordance with 34
CFR 668.164(a), title IV, HEA program
funds are disbursed on the date that the
institution: (a) Credits those funds to a
student’s account in the institution’s
general ledger or any subledger of the
general ledger; or (b) pays those funds
to a student directly. Title IV, HEA
program funds are disbursed even if an
institution uses its own funds in
advance of receiving program funds
from the Department.
An institution’s failure to submit
disbursement records within the
required timeframe may result in the
Department rejecting all or part of the
reported disbursement. Such failure
may also result in an audit or program
review finding or the initiation of an
adverse action, such as a fine or other
penalty for such failure, in accordance
with subpart G of the General Provisions
regulations in 34 CFR part 668.
Deadline Dates for Enrollment
Reporting by Institutions.
In accordance with 34 CFR 674.19(f),
682.610(c), 685.309(b), and 690.83(b)(2),
upon receipt of an enrollment report
from the Secretary, institutions must
update all information included in the
report and return the report to the
Secretary in a manner and format
prescribed by the Secretary and within
the timeframe prescribed by the
Secretary. Consistent with the National
Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)

(December 23, 2016).
The prior Computer Matching

35003). Under the provisions of the
Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988, Public Law 100–

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
certified in writing that the program was
conducted in compliance with the
CMA. ED and VA are now reestablishing the matching program
through this notice.
Participating Agencies
ED and VA.
Authority for Conducting the Matching
Program
ED is authorized to participate in the
matching program under sections
480(c)(1) and 480(d)(1)(D) of the HEA
(20 U.S.C. 1087vv(c)(1) and (d)(1)(D)).
VA is authorized to participate in the
matching program under 38 U.S.C. 523.
Purpose(s)
The purpose of this matching program
is to assist the Secretary of Education
with verification of a veteran’s status
during the processing and review of
applications for financial assistance
under title IV of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).
The Secretary of Education is
authorized by the HEA to administer the
title IV programs and to enforce the
terms and conditions of the HEA.
Section 480(c)(1) of the HEA defines
the term ‘‘veteran’’ to mean ‘‘any
individual who (A) has engaged in the
active duty in the United States Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast
Guard; and (B) was released under a
condition other than dishonorable.’’ (20
U.S.C. 1087vv(c)(1)). Under section
480(d)(1)(D) of the HEA, an applicant
who is a veteran (as defined in section
480(c)(1)) is considered an independent
student for purposes of title IV, HEA
program assistance eligibility, and,
therefore, does not have to provide
parental income and asset information
to apply for title IV, HEA program
assistance. (20 U.S.C. 1087vv(d)(1)(D)).
Categories of Individuals
Individuals who have completed the
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) and have indicated that
they are a veteran.
Categories of Records
ED will provide to the VA the Social
Security number, first and last name,
and date of birth of each applicant for
financial assistance under title IV of the
HEA who indicates veteran status in his
or her application for financial
assistance under title IV of the HEA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Table A--2018-2019 Award Year Deadline Dates by Which a Student
Must Submit the FAFSA, by Which the Institution Must Receive the
Student's Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) or Student
Aid Report (SAR), and by Which the Institution Must Submit Verification
Outcomes for Certain Students.
Table A provides information and deadline dates for receipt of the
FAFSA, corrections to and signatures for the FAFSA, ISIRs, and SARs,
and verification documents.
The deadline date for the receipt of a FAFSA by the Department's
Central Processing System is June 30, 2019, regardless of the method
that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. The deadline date for the
receipt of a signature page for the FAFSA (if required), corrections,
notices of change of address or institution, or requests for a
duplicate SAR is September 14, 2019.
For all title IV, HEA programs, an ISIR or SAR for the student must
be received by the institution no later than the student's last date of
enrollment for the 2018-2019 award year or September 21, 2019,
whichever is earlier. Note that a FAFSA must be submitted and an ISIR
or SAR received for the dependent student for whom a parent is applying
for a Direct PLUS Loan.
Except for students selected for Verification Tracking Groups V4
and V5, verification documents must be received by the institution no
later than 120 days after the student's last date of enrollment for the
2018-2019 award year or September 21, 2019, whichever is earlier. For
students selected for Verification Tracking Groups V4 and V5,
institutions must submit identity and high school completion status
verification results no later than 60 days following the institution's
first request to the student to submit the documentation.
For all title IV, HEA programs except for (1) Direct PLUS Loans
that will be made to parent borrowers, and (2) Direct Unsubsidized
Loans that will be made to dependent students who have been determined
by the institution, pursuant to section 479A(a) of the HEA, to be
eligible for such a loan without providing parental information on the
FAFSA, the ISIR or SAR must have an official expected family
contribution (EFC) and the ISIR or SAR must be received by the
institution no later than the earlier of the student's last date of
enrollment for the 2018-2019 award year or September 21, 2019. For the
two exceptions mentioned above, the ISIR or SAR must be received by the
institution by the same dates noted in the paragraph but the ISIR or
SAR is not required to have an official EFC.
For a student who is requesting aid through the Pell Grant, FSEOG,
or FWS
[[Page 62564]]
programs or for a student requesting Direct Subsidized Loans, who does
not meet the conditions for a late disbursement under 34 CFR
668.164(j), a valid ISIR or valid SAR must be received by the
institution by the student's last date of enrollment for the 2018-2019
award year or September 21, 2019, whichever is earlier.
In accordance with 34 CFR 668.164(j)(4)(i), an institution may not
make a late disbursement of title IV, HEA program funds later than 180
days after the date of the institution's determination that the student
was no longer enrolled. Table A provides that, to make a late
disbursement of title IV, HEA program funds, an institution must
receive a valid ISIR or valid SAR no later than 180 days after its
determination that the student was no longer enrolled, but not later
than September 21, 2019.
Table B--2018-2019 Award Year Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan
Service Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant Programs Deadline Dates for
Disbursement by Institutions.
For the Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct
Loan, and TEACH Grant programs, Table B provides the earliest
disbursement date, the earliest dates for institutions to submit
disbursement records to the Department's Common Origination and
Disbursement (COD) System, and deadline dates by which institutions
must submit disbursement and origination records.
An institution must submit Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service
Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant disbursement records to COD, no
later than 15 days after making the disbursement or becoming aware of
the need to adjust a previously reported disbursement. In accordance
with 34 CFR 668.164(a), title IV, HEA program funds are disbursed on
the date that the institution: (a) Credits those funds to a student's
account in the institution's general ledger or any subledger of the
general ledger; or (b) pays those funds to a student directly. Title
IV, HEA program funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its own
funds in advance of receiving program funds from the Department.
An institution's failure to submit disbursement records within the
required timeframe may result in the Department rejecting all or part
of the reported disbursement. Such failure may also result in an audit
or program review finding or the initiation of an adverse action, such
as a fine or other penalty for such failure, in accordance with subpart
G of the General Provisions regulations in 34 CFR part 668.
Deadline Dates for Enrollment Reporting by Institutions.
In accordance with 34 CFR 674.19(f), 682.610(c), 685.309(b), and
690.83(b)(2), upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary,
institutions must update all information included in the report and
return the report to the Secretary in a manner and format prescribed by
the Secretary and within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary.
Consistent with the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
Enrollment Reporting Guide, the Secretary has determined that
institutions must report at least every two months. Institutions may
find the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide on the Information for
Financial Aid Professionals website at https://ifap.ed.gov.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions
must be completed and accepted before 12:00 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before
12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight, those transmissions do not meet the deadline.
In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be
reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or
her of the rejection.
\2\ The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution received
the ISIR or SAR regardless of whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its Student Aid Internet
Gateway (SAIG) mailbox or when the student submits the SAR to the institution.
[[Page 62566]]
\3\ Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if
corrections are required, deadline dates for submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for Pell Grant
applicants and applicants selected for verification, deadline dates for the submission of a valid SAR or valid
ISIR to the institution must still be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission
of verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot
be later than this deadline date.
\4\ Note that changes to previously submitted Identity Verification Results must be updated within 30 days of
the institution becoming aware that a change has occurred.

\1\ A COD Processing Year is a period of time in which institutions are permitted to submit Direct Loan records
to the COD System that are related to a given award year. For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans
that have a loan period covering any day in the 2018-2019 award year.
\2\ Transmissions must be completed and accepted before the designated processing time on the deadline
submission date. The designated processing time is published annually via an electronic announcement posted to
the Information for Financial Aid Professionals website (https://ifap.ed.gov). If transmissions are started at
the designated time, but are not completed until after the designated time, those transmissions will not meet
the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected
