Edit Code Warnings and Rejects • COD edit code warnings alert schools to processing issues that may need to be resolved, but build on the COD system • COD edit code rejects do NOT build on the COD system • Where can you find edit code rejects? • Query your own Financial aid software • Via the COD batch menu • Focus on 3 DL rejects
Identifying, Locating and Resolving Rejects • 140 - Incorrect origination fee percentage and/or interest rebate percent on new awards • 141 - Cannot change the origination fee percent and/or interest rebate percent on an active loan • 144 - Disbursement dates do not match origination fee percentage and/or interest rebate percent on file
How do I fix edit code reject 140? • It never built on the COD system • Correct in your software to the correct percentage to go with the corresponding first disbursement date and resubmit
Edit 141 example At first glance this looks ok correct fee with the date but….. This loan originally built on COD with a 1.051% origination fee
How do I fix edit code reject 141/144 with anticipated disbursements?
Fixing Edit 144 • So what happened with previous circumstance? • School tried to submit a disbursement date change and that is why it hit edit code 144 • Since this record only has pending or anticipated disbursements, correct the record following guidance for loans with pending/anticipated disbursements • But what if an actual disbursement accepted with the wrong fee or date?
Notifications of Fee changes • DCL ID: GEN-13-22 updated October 25, 2013 • Subject FY 2014 Sequestration Changes to the Title IV Student Aid Programs • Electronic announcement- October 25, 2013 • Operational updates and COD system readiness for Direct Loan Origination Fee Percent Increases • Attachment with directions on how to fix loans with incorrect fees
