Release Notes: Item 2506-01

2025-26 Direct Loan Fees

This release upgrades FINANCIER to accommodate the loan fees for loans whose first disbursement occurs on or after October 1, 2025. The post-October 1 fee percentages are 1.057 for student subsidized and unsubsidized loans and 4.228 for PLUS loans. The rates have NOT CHANGED for this new effective date. Instead of increasing the array in the file, we are not updating WFLNFEEL, which holds the effective dates and rates. The processing will still work as expected given how the effective date is evaluated. The conversion program WCDLFEEB examines existing loans to ensure that the fee, rebate and net loan amounts exported to COD are correct for the actual disbursement date but will NOT need to be run this year.

The conversion program will NOT need to be run, given that the rates will be same after October 1, 2025 as they are before.
