The Department of Education released long-awaited formal guidance this week on how financial aid administrators should reduce annual loan limits for less-than-full-time enrollment using the Schedule of Reductions (SOR).

Financial aid professionals have pushed for formal written guidance since ED published the final rule in May, particularly given its importance to institutional compliance.

The 24-question FAQ addresses the provision in the final rule implementing loan limit reductions for less-than-full-time borrowers under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

JUST IN 🚨 The Department of Education (ED), in an electronic announcement on Tuesday, explained that, effective immediately, institutions should disregard the FPS C Flag associated with Comment Code 352 while the department updates its logic to ensure that the FAFSA Processing System (FPS) no longer sets a C flag for postscreening Reason Code 34/Comment Code 352.

According to ED’s notice, schools should not delay awarding or disbursing aid if it is based only on the presence of this FPS C Flag.
