1995-96 SAR COMMENT TEXT FOR MATCHES AND HOLD
FILES

SELECTIVE SERVICE MATCH

029 Your registration or your exemption status has been confirmed
by Selective Service.

026 Selective Service records indicate that you are not required
to be registered with them until within 30 days of your 18th
birthday. If you have not yet initiated the registration process,
you may either check the "Yes" box for item 103 on Part 2 of
your SAR or obtain and complete a Selective Service
Registration form, available at your local post office. If you
have already requested that you be registered, they will process
your request 30 days prior to your 18th birthday.

030 The Selective Service reported that you have not registered
with them. If you are female or born before 1960, disregard
this comment. Otherwise, a male who is required to register
with Selective Service must be registered before aid can be
disbursed. If you have not yet registered, are male and 18
through 25 years of age, you must either check the "Yes" box
for Item 103 on Part 2 of your SAR or obtain and complete a
Selective Service Registration form, available at your local post
office. If you believe you have already registered or are
exempt, please contact the Selective Service at 708-688-6888 to
resolve any problems regarding your registration status.

032 Because of processing problems we were unable to conduct
a match to verify your registration status with Selective
Service. If you are female or born before 1960, disregard this
comment. Otherwise, a male who is required to register with
Selective Service must verify he is registered before aid can be
disbursed. If you are registered, you will receive a letter of
confirmation from the Selective Service within two weeks. If
you are not registered, are male and 18 through 25 years of
age, you must either check the "Yes" box for Item 103 on
Part 2 of your SAR or obtain and complete a Selective Service
Registration form, available at your local post office. If you
believe you are registered and do not receive a letter of
confirmation, or are exempt, contact Selective Service
at 708-688-6888.


SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION

031 We have forwarded your name to Selective Service for
registration, as you requested.

028 We have forwarded your name to Selective Service for
registration, as you requested. They will process your
registration request 30 days prior to your 18th birthday.

033 We could not send your name to Selective Service as you
requested because you did not give us enough information or
because you are past the age limit for registration. If you are at
least 18 but not yet 26, you may register by checking the "Yes"
box for Item 103 on your SAR. You must also correct the
information printed in boldface type on Part 2. You may also
register by obtaining and completing a Selective Service
Registration form, available at your local post office. If you are
a male who has reached age 26, you cannot use this SAR to
register. You must contact Selective Service at 708-688-6888
to resolve your registration status before you can receive
Federal student aid. You are exempt from registering if born
before 1960.

037 We were unable to complete your registration with Selective
Service. If you wish to register and you have not yet reached
age 26, you must either check the "Yes" box for Item 103 on
your SAR, or complete a Selective Service Registration form,
available at your local post office.


INS MATCH

068 You did not indicate on your application that you are a U.S.
citizen or an eligible noncitizen. To be eligible to receive
Federal student aid, a student must be --

(1) A U.S. citizen (or U.S. National), or
(2) An eligible noncitizen, such as a U.S. permanent resident
or resident of certain Pacific Islands, or
(3) An eligible noncitizen as determined by the Department
of Education

141 You must submit proof of your citizenship status to your FAA
before you can receive any Federal student aid.

142 The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) could not
confirm your statement that you are an eligible noncitizen
because there is a question about your alien registration
number. You must submit proof of your noncitizen eligibility
to your school within 30 days after you give this SAR to your
school. If you fail to submit proof within 30 days, you may be
found ineligible for Federal student aid.

143 Your citizenship status has been confirmed by the Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS) and you meet the citizenship
requirements for Federal student aid.


144 The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) did not
confirm your statement that you are an eligible noncitizen.
You must submit proof of your noncitizen eligibility to your
school within 30 days after you give this SAR to your school.
If you fail to submit proof within 30 days, you may be found
ineligible for Federal student aid.

145 Because of processing problems, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) was not able to confirm your
statement that you are an eligible noncitizen. You must submit
proof of your eligible noncitizen status to your school before
you may receive Federal student aid.


SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER MATCH

013 You tried to change your social security number. The Social
Security Administration already verified that this social
security number belongs to you. If you need assistance, see
your FAA.

058 Because of processing problems, we were unable to determine
from the Social Security Administration if the social security
number you reported on your application belongs to you. To
receive Federal student aid, you must provide current proof to
your FAA that the social security number in Item 8 is yours.

059 We were unable to determine from the Social Security
Administration if the social security number you reported on
your application belongs to you because you did not give us
your last name or date of birth. Correct Items 1and 9 on your
SAR.

023 It appears that the social security number you reported on your
application is not a valid social security number. See your
FAA for assistance.

024 The Social Security Administration did not confirm that the
social security number you reported on your aid application is
valid. You must verify or correct your social security number
in Item 8 on your SAR.

060 The date of birth you reported on your application is
inconsistent with the Social Security Administration's records.

061 According to the Social Security Administration's records, the
name you reported on your application does not correspond
with the social security number in Item 8. You must review
Items 1, 2, 3, and 8 and make corrections on your SAR where
appropriate. If these items are correct, you should contact your
local Social Security Administration office to resolve the
problem.

025 You verified that the social security number in Item 8 is
correct. However, before you can receive Federal student aid,
you must submit current proof to your FAA that this
information is correct.


NSLDS MATCH

131 To receive Federal student aid, you cannot be in default on any
U.S. Department of Education student loan. Because of
processing problems we were unable to determine whether you
are in default on a loan. Contact your FAA for more
information.

132 Our records indicate that you are in DEFAULT on a Federal
student loan. You are not eligible to receive any Federal
student aid until your account has been resolved.

133 Our records indicate that you received at least one
overpayment of a Federal Pell Grant. You are required by law
to repay any funds received from the Federal Pell Grant
program to which you were not entitled. Until your
overpayment has been repaid in full, you are ineligible to
receive any Federal student assistance. Contact the U.S.
Department of Education at 202-708-4766 to resolve your
account.

134 Our records indicate that you are in DEFAULT on at least one
Federal student loan and that you received at least one
overpayment of a Federal Pell Grant. You are not eligible to
receive any Federal student aid until your account has been
resolved.

135 Our records indicate that you may not be eligible for some
Federal student aid because of the status of your Federal
student loan. Contact your FAA to determine what types of
student aid you may be eligible to receive.
