The complete bodies of **20 USC 1091b**, **34 CFR 668.21**, and **34 CFR 668.22** were read, together with the bounded cross-references and historical instruments identified below. No earlier report supplies a premise for this investigation.\n\nThe selected framework contains three materially different routes:\n\n1. **Failure to begin attendance:** §668.21 allocates return responsibilities by program and by whether funds were credited to the institutional account, paid to the institution, or disbursed directly to the student.\n2. **Withdrawal after beginning attendance:** §668.22 determines whether a withdrawal occurred, identifies the applicable dates and period, calculates earned assistance, and allocates return or post-withdrawal-disbursement responsibilities.\n3. **The optional full-refund withdrawal exemption added by the 2025 final rule:** this requires all the specified record-treatment, aid-return, institutional-refund, and balance-cancellation conditions. Its availability does not establish that an institution elected or satisfied it. **C022–C039.** [ecfr.gov+2](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/subtitle-B/chapter-VI/part-668/subpart-B/section-668.21?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n**Currentness is bounded.** The successful official statutory compilation displayed currency through **Public Law 119-124, October 15, 2026**.

These are documented below rather than silently corrected. **C065, C074, C077, C104–C107.**\n\n### Register conventions\n\n- **S001** means **R077-P1-S001**, and similarly for every source identifier.\n- **C001** means **R077-P1-C001**, and similarly for every atomic claim identifier.\n- **M** identifies a measurement-register row; **B** a conditional branch; **D** a comparison row.\n- **R** means a rule supported by the retrieved current text; **G** means official guidance; **H** means historical authority; **P** means partial or unresolved.\n- All source-register entries concern **United States federal law or federal agency instructions** and were accessed on **October 27, 2026, America/Los_Angeles**.\n- HTML has no PDF index.

The selected FWS definition identifies FWS as the Title IV-C employment program. | S001 §1091b(a)(1); S004 §668.2, FWS definition. |\n| **C006** | Current §668.22(a)(3) lists **only Direct Loan, Pell, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, TEACH, and FSEOG assistance**. It excludes the nonfederal FSEOG share when matching is by the individual-recipient or aggregate method. The handbook includes both shares for a fund-specific match. Presence in the text does not establish current award availability. | S002 §668.22(a)(3); S016 Ch.1, “FSEOG Program Funds.” [ecfr.gov+1](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/subtitle-B/chapter-VI/part-668/subpart-B/section-668.22?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **C007** | §668.21 has a different express program list: Perkins, FSEOG, TEACH, Pell, ACG, and National SMART for its all-funds rule; FFEL and Direct Loan funds receive separate treatment. Its wording is not interchangeable with §668.22(a)(3). | S002 §668.21(a)(1)–(2). |\n| **C008** | A “recipient” for §668.22 is a student for whom §668.164(j)(2)’s conditions have been met. That includes a processed official aid record before loss of eligibility and, for the specified programs, timely origination or award. Receipt of cash alone is not the definition. | S002 §668.22(l)(4); S006 §668.164(j)(2). |\n| **C009** | The selected rules distinguish institution, student, and **parent PLUS borrower**. §668.2’s parent definition includes biological/adoptive parents and the specified stepparent circumstance; a participating institution must be eligible, meet Subpart B standards, and have a current participation agreement. The separate §668.2 “student” definition expressly limited to Subparts Q/S and §668.43(d) must not be imported into R2T4. | S004 §668.2, complete selected definitions. Full institutional eligibility and parent-loan eligibility remain held. |\n| **C010** | Academic engagement requires active participation in an institution-defined instructional activity consistent with applicable accreditor/State requirements. Covered examples include interactive class attendance, assignments, examinations, interactive instruction, assigned group/discussion activity, and academic interaction with an instructor. Housing, meal-plan use, logging in without participation, and academic counseling/advisement alone are excluded. | S003 §600.2, “Academic engagement,” complete definition. |\n| **C011** | For §668.22, academic attendance/activity must include academic engagement; the institution must determine and document it. A student’s unsupported certification is insufficient. This is an evidentiary rule, not a finding that any absent record proves misconduct. | S002 §668.22(l)(7). |\n| **C012** | A modular program uses a standard or nonstandard-term calendar, is not subscription-based, and has a course or courses shorter than the full period. “Substantially equal” permits no term more than **two instructional weeks longer** than another. Nonstandard status depends on the incorporated §690.63(a)(1)–(2) calendar tests. | S002 §668.22(l)(5)–(8); S004 §668.4(h); S005. |\n| **C013** | A subscription program charges by subscription for each term with an expected credit quantity; coursework need not start/end within that term. Enrollment status is established for the program, changeable no more than once per academic year. Subsequent-disbursement credit requirements aggregate applicable status-based credits for attended terms, excluding the current and most recently attended terms; less-than-half-time terms use at least one credit or equivalent. | S004 §668.2, complete “Subscription-based program.” This definition does not establish anyone’s entitlement. |\n| **C014** | Full-time is an institution-determined, uniformly applied workload subject to the applicable minimum and course-repeat rules. Half-time generally means at least half the applicable full-time minimum, with a separate sole-correspondence rule. The complete category-dependent numerical standards are recorded in M031–M032; a familiar “six credits” shorthand is not universal. | S004 §668.2, complete full-time and half-time definitions. [ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/subtitle-B/chapter-VI/part-668/subpart-A/section-668.2?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **C015** | Credit hours and clock hours are distinct legal units. Credit-hour equivalence permits different delivery methods/calendars but requires the defined institutional/accreditor framework. Clock-hour definitions include specified instructional-minute and monitored-distance-activity conditions. Certain undergraduate credit-hour programs require the separate §668.8(k)–(l) conversion unless a stated exception applies. | S003 §600.2; S004 §668.8(k)–(l); M033–M034. No program conversion performed. |\n| **C016** | An **award year** runs July 1–June 30. An **academic year** is an instructional/hours construct under §668.3, with a conditional Secretary-approved reduced-week route. These terms cannot be substituted for one another in the disaster waiver or period calculation. | S003 “Award year”; S004 complete §668.3; M035. |\n| **C017** | For eligible credit-hour programs using standard terms or substantially equal nonstandard terms, §668.4(a) makes the academic term the payment period. Unequal nonstandard terms use different grant/Perkins and FFEL/Direct Loan definitions. | S004 §668.4(a)–(b), subject to unresolved (d). |\n| **C018** | In the specified unequal-term loan, nonterm-credit, and clock-hour categories, payment periods depend on successful completion of **both hours and weeks**, using the program, academic year, or remaining portion as the prescribed base. Remaining portions at or below half an academic year receive different treatment from portions above half. If completion of half the hours cannot be determined under (c), the later of half the coursework and half the weeks governs. Excused clock-hour absences require written policy and the least of the applicable accreditor, State, and 10% limits. | S004 §668.4(b)(2), (c), (e), (h)(2); M036–M037. |\n| **C019** | For §668.4(c) programs, same-program reentry within 180 days keeps the same payment period, subject to stated agency/lender conditions. Reentry after 180 days or transfer generally creates new periods from remaining hours/weeks. Same-institution transfer may retain the period only with continuous enrollment, substantially similar coursework, substantially equal hours/weeks, little or no charge change, and acceptance of credits. | S004 §668.4(f)–(g), all nested conditions. |\n| **C020** | R2T4 uses a **payment period** for standard-term programs. Nonterm and nonstandard-term programs may use payment period or enrollment period, but must use the selected basis consistently within each specified category—students attending from the beginning, reentering students, and transferring students—in the same program. | S002 §668.22(e)(5)(i)–(ii), (l)(2). |\n| **C021** | For unequal nonstandard terms where payment-period treatment is chosen, aid under both §668.4(b)(1) and (b)(2) requires use of the period ending later, including attributable aid from overlapping periods. If aid uses only one definition, that definition controls. | S002 §668.22(e)(5)(iii). |\n\n### B. Failure to begin attendance\n\n| Claim ID | Supported proposition and qualifications | Exact authority and scope |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **C022** | If the student does not begin attendance in the relevant payment/enrollment period, the institution must return **all** listed Perkins/grant funds credited to the institutional account or disbursed directly to the student for that period. The rule does not use the withdrawal earned-percentage calculation. | S002 §668.21(a)(1). [ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/subtitle-B/chapter-VI/part-668/subpart-B/section-668.21?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **C023** | For FFEL/Direct funds, the institution must return all loan funds credited to the institutional account and payments made directly by or on behalf of the student to the institution for the period, **up to the total loan funds disbursed**. These are different payment categories; the text does not establish an actual balance. | S002 §668.21(a)(2)(i)(A)–(B). |\n| **C024** | For remaining FFEL/Direct amounts disbursed directly to the student, the institution ordinarily is not responsible for returning those amounts, but must **immediately notify** the lender or Secretary upon awareness that attendance will not or did not begin, so the referenced final-demand process can occur. The section expressly includes specified study-abroad/foreign-school disbursements, but the current §682.207 subclauses could not be retrieved. | S002 §668.21(a)(2)(ii); S009/S011 for demand rules. Foreign-disbursement mechanics remain partial. |\n| **C025** | The preceding institutional nonresponsibility does **not** apply where the institution knew before making the direct FFEL/Direct disbursement that attendance would not begin: it must return those funds. | S002 §668.21(a)(2)(iii). Knowledge and sequence are absent. |\n| **C026** | For §668.21, inability of the institution to document attendance at **any class during the relevant period** results in the Secretary treating attendance as not begun. This is not a rule that missing one class establishes nonattendance, nor proof that any attendance establishes all underlying aid eligibility. | S002 §668.21(c). |\n| **C027** | Institutional returns under §668.21 must occur as soon as possible and no later than **30 days after institutional awareness**. Deposit/transfer, EFT initiation, FFEL adjustment transaction, and check routes have distinct specified acts. A check fails the rule if issued after day 30 or endorsed by the Secretary/lender’s bank after day 45. | S002 §668.21(b), (d); S006 §668.163(a)–(b) for the referenced institutional account. |\n| **C028** | The incorporated FFEL route requires lender learning **and substantiation** of the specified ineligibility circumstances. Its nonattendance branch includes withdrawal/expulsion before classes or failure to attend and unpaid/unreturned proceeds. The demand concerns the ineligible principal plus specified accrued interest; the 30-day mailing-triggered response/payment rule and conditional consequences are not proof of actual default. | S011 §682.412(a)–(e), §682.411(f). Broad collection/default-claim procedures remain held. |\n| **C029** | The Direct Loan cross-reference requires a Secretary determination under §685.211(e), with its own enumerated ineligibility predicates. The demand is for ineligible principal and accrued interest within 30 days after mailing; failure has the specified default consequence. No inference of false information, fraud, ineligibility, mailing, or noncompliance is permissible from this generic framework. | S009 §685.211(e)(1)–(4). |\n\n### C. Withdrawal classification, dates, leave, and modules\n\n| Claim ID | Supported proposition and qualifications | Exact authority and scope |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **C030** | Subject to all exceptions, credit-hour withdrawal includes failure to complete all scheduled days; clock-hour withdrawal includes failure to complete all scheduled clock hours **and weeks of instructional time**. Attendance must first have begun for §668.22(a)(1). | S002 §668.22(a)(1), (a)(2)(i)(A)–(B). |\n| **C031** | Standard/nonstandard-term programs other than subscription programs have a withdrawal condition when no further course is scheduled for **more than 45 calendar days after the end of the ceased-attendance module**. Nonterm/subscription programs use inability to resume for **more than 60 calendar days after cessation**. Approved LOA is an express exception. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(i)(C)–(D). |\n| **C032** | Completing **all program graduation requirements** before completing scheduled days/hours is an express nonwithdrawal category. Mere completion of some coursework is not that category. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(A)(1). |\n| **C033** | In a modular program, successful completion of one module or combined modules containing **at least 49%** of payment-period days—excluding scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days and all days between modules—or successful completion of at least the institution’s applicable half-time coursework provides a nonwithdrawal route. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(A)(2); S004 §668.2. |\n| **C034** | The handbook’s 49% test uses the applicable payment-period/program calendar, not the separate individualized R2T4 denominator. It excludes all between-module days, counts overlapping days once, addresses intersessions and home-institution consortium calendars, and does not permit rounding a result below 49% up to eligibility. | S016 Ch.1, complete selected module-exemption discussion. G; actual calendar/classification absent. |\n| **C035** | Written confirmation must be obtained at the time the student otherwise would be a withdrawal. Modular return must be in the same payment/enrollment period; the standard/nonstandard non-subscription route also requires the later module to begin within 45 calendar days after the prior module ends. Subscription confirmation requires same-period return within 60 calendar days; nonterm confirmation uses the stated 60-calendar-day limit. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(A)(3)–(5). |\n| **C036** | A confirmed return date may be changed in writing **before the previously confirmed date**, subject to the same-period and 45/60-day conditions. Failure to return as scheduled makes the student a withdrawal, with withdrawal date and denominator determined as if the confirmation had not been given. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(B)–(C). |\n| **C037** | Same-program modular reentry before the period ends can restore eligibility for prior eligible assistance, including returned funds, only subject to Secretary conditions and enrollment status supporting the full amount. Clock/nonterm same-program reentry within 180 calendar days invokes the same-period rule and its conditions. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(iii); S004 §668.4(f). |\n| **C038** | The full-refund exemption requires **all** of: records treating the student as never having attended that period; return of all disbursed Title IV grant/loan assistance including student/parent credit balances; refund of all institutional charges for the period; and cancellation/write-off of the period balance owed **because of the institution’s return of aid to ED**. | S002 §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(A)(6)(i)–(iv). [ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-34/subtitle-B/chapter-VI/part-668/subpart-B/section-668.22?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **C039** | ED describes this exemption as optional, usable under institutional policy, and distinct from actual §668.21 nonattendance. Initial aid eligibility and attendance documentation must be retained. Continued attendance in non-Title-IV courses prevents the required never-attended treatment. The exemption is not a general cancellation of every obligation. | S014 full-refund discussion; S015 complete exemption explanation. |\n| **C040** | An institution is required to take attendance for this purpose if an outside entity requires it, the institution requires instructors to do it, or an institution/outside requirement can be met only through attendance-taking or a comparable process. | S002 §668.22(b)(3)(i). |\n| **C041** | A requirement for only some students applies to those students. A requirement for a limited period applies during that period; a student present at the last required attendance-taking who later ceases attendance is treated under the nonrequired category. A requirement on only one census-reporting day does not by itself make the institution attendance-required. | S002 §668.22(b)(3)(ii)–(iv). |\n| **C042** | For attendance-required students, the withdrawal date is the last academic-attendance date from institutional records, including failed/unapproved LOA cases. The institution must document that date **within 14 days of last attendance** and maintain the documentation as of determination. ED explains that this is a documentation requirement, not automatic administrative withdrawal after an absence. | S002 §668.22(b)(1)–(2); S014 attendance-documentation discussion; S015. |\n| **C043** | At a nonrequired institution, official withdrawal uses the date the prescribed process began or official oral/written notification occurred. If both occur, the earlier date applies unless a later academically related activity date is properly used. | S002 §668.22(c)(1)(i)–(ii), (c)(2)(ii), (c)(3). |\n| **C044** | Without official notification, the regulatory starting rule is the period midpoint. If illness, accident, grievous loss, or another circumstance beyond the student’s control prevented the process/notice, including notice by someone acting for the student, the institution may determine a date related to that circumstance. No circumstance is established here. | S002 §668.22(c)(1)(iii)–(iv); S001 §1091b(c). |\n| **C045** | An institution may permit rescission of official withdrawal through a written statement of continued academic participation and intent to complete. Later cessation negates that rescission and restores the original date unless a later activity date is properly established. | S002 §668.22(c)(2)(i). |\n| **C046** | A nonrequired institution may use documented last attendance at an academically related activity notwithstanding its general date rules. Both the academic nature of the activity and attendance must be documented. The statute’s unofficial-withdrawal clause expressly describes midpoint or a **later** documented date; the regulation’s (c)(3) wording is broader. No judicial reconciliation is supplied. | S002 §668.22(c)(3); S001 §1091b(c)(1)(A)(iii). |\n| **C047** | Official notification must reach an institution-designated office; the institution must designate one or more readily contactable offices. The date and basis must be documented and retained as of determination. This establishes no actual notice or delivery. | S002 §668.22(c)(4)–(5). |\n| **C048** | For nonrequired institutions, determination date is: official withdrawal—later of withdrawal date or notification; unofficial—awareness of cessation; failed approved LOA—earlier of leave end or notice of nonreturn; negated rescission—awareness the period was/will not be completed; unapproved LOA—leave start. These are not a universal definition for every attendance-required situation. | S002 §668.22(l)(3)(i)–(v). |\n| **C049** | A nonrequired institution must determine the withdrawal date for an unnotified withdrawal no later than **30 days after the earliest ending** of the applicable payment/enrollment period, academic year, or educational program. This is distinct from the return deadline. | S002 §668.22(j)(2). |\n| **C050** | An approved LOA requires a formal written/publicized policy; student compliance; reasonable expectation of return; approval under the policy; no additional institutional charges; the duration limit; the applicable coursework-return rule; and preapproval explanation to loan recipients of failure-to-return effects, including possible grace-period exhaustion. | S002 §668.22(d)(1), (d)(3)(iii); S001 §1091b(a)(2). |\n| **C051** | Total approved LOA days must not exceed **180 in any 12-month period**. The first day of the initial leave begins the counting and the 12-month period. A signed, dated, reason-stating request generally precedes leave; unforeseen circumstances permit later collection if the institution documents its decision. | S002 §668.22(d)(1)(vi), (d)(3); M012. |\n| **C052** | The coursework-resumption condition has express exceptions for clock-hour, nonterm-credit, subscription, and eligible prison education programs. The prison-program addition changes that condition only; the remaining LOA requirements still apply. Qualification as an eligible prison program is independently conditioned and not established. | S002 §668.22(d)(1)(vii); S014 prison-program discussion; S031. |\n| **C053** | Failure to resume attendance at or before approved-leave end requires withdrawal treatment. For nonrequired institutions, failed or unapproved leave generally uses leave start as the withdrawal date; attendance-required institutions use their last-attendance records. | S002 §668.22(d)(2), (b)(1), (c)(1)(v)–(vi). |\n\n### D. Earned aid, bases, charges, responsibility, and protection\n\n| Claim ID | Supported proposition and qualifications | Exact authority and scope |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **C054** | Earned assistance is the earned percentage applied to qualifying assistance disbursed **and that could have been disbursed** for the selected period, measured as of the withdrawal date. This base is not simply cash in the student’s possession. | S001 §1091b(a)(3)(A); S002 §668.22(e)(1). |\n| **C055** | Credit-hour completion uses **calendar days completed in the selected period divided by total included calendar days in that period**, as of the withdrawal date, with the regulatory exclusions. It does not use credits passed as its R2T4 fraction. | S002 §668.22(f)(1)(i), (f)(2). |\n| **C056** | Clock-hour completion uses hours **scheduled since the student began attendance in that payment/enrollment period**, through withdrawal, divided by total clock hours in that period. The schedule must predate the beginning class date, match published program materials unless modified before withdrawal, and meet applicable accreditor/State standards. It is not an actual-hours-attended fraction. | S002 §668.22(f)(1)(ii)(A)–(C); S014 clock-hour amendment. |\n| **C057** | Scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days are excluded from both completed and total calendar days. The total excludes approved-LOA days and qualifying modular breaks when no module/other course is scheduled. Under current (l)(9), module days become scheduled only when attendance in that module begins. The 49% exemption uses its separately stated exclusions. | S002 §668.22(f)(2), (l)(9), contrasted with (a)(2)(ii)(A)(2). |\n| **C058** | At or before the **60%** point, the earned percentage is the completed fraction. **After 60%**, it is **100%**. Equality at 60% does not satisfy “after.” The unearned percentage is the complement of the earned percentage. | S001 §1091b(a)(3)(B)–(C); S002 §668.22(e)(2)–(3). |\n| **C059** | Handbook rounding uses dollars/cents to the nearest penny; final return/PWD amounts may be rounded to the nearest dollar, but no upward disbursement rounding may exceed annual/aggregate/lifetime limits. Fractions are calculated to four decimal places and rounded to three, with fourth digit at least five rounding upward; the specific greater-than-60% exception prevents a fraction just over 60% from being rounded down to 60%. | S016 Ch.1, “Rounding.” G; no calculation performed. [2026-2027 Federal Student Aid Handbook](https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/fsa-handbook/2026-2027/vol5/ch1-general-requirements-withdrawals-and-return-title-iv-funds?utm_source=chatgpt.com) |\n| **C060** | The handbook uses **net loan amounts** for disbursed and potentially disbursable aid. Aid disbursed by determination is generally included, but inadvertent disbursement after cessation and before determination is classified as potentially disbursable. Undisbursed grants may not simply replace loans already disbursed. | S016 Ch.2 Part1, Step 1. Underlying disbursement definition and deemed dates: S006 §668.164(a). |\n| **C061** | §668.164(j)(2) requires the processed official aid record and program-specific origination/award before the student becomes ineligible. The handbook additionally explains the signed-note condition by calculation time, the effect of declining/failing an institutional affirmative-confirmation process, period limits, and Pell lifetime/Direct Loan aggregate limits. The regulation still says **EFC**; the current handbook says **SAI**. | S006 §668.164(j)(1)–(2); S016 Step 1 and funds-limit headings; discrepancy C107. |\n| **C062** | Counting aid as potentially disbursable does not establish that it may be paid after withdrawal. §668.164(j)(4) prohibits late disbursement after the outer 180-day limit; prohibits a second/subsequent Direct disbursement absent successful completion of its loan period; imposes the first-year/first-time limitation unless an exemption applies; and requires a valid SAR/ISIR by the separately published deadline. | S006 §668.164(j)(4), complete. Annual deadline notice not selected because no award year/application is supplied. |\n| **C063** | The first-year/first-time Direct Loan restriction concerns the defined prior-loan history and the first 30 days of the program. Its institutional exceptions depend on the exact cohort-rate categories, fiscal-year sets, strict percentages, loan-disbursement date, study-abroad role, and later Secretary notification stated in §685.303(b)(5). None is inferred from a school label or asserted rate. | S010 §685.303(b)(5)(i)–(iii); M026. Full cohort-rate calculation rules held. |\n| **C064** | Under §668.22, compare earned assistance with assistance disbursed as of determination: excess disbursed assistance is the return amount; excess earned assistance enters the PWD route. Where earned is less than disbursed, no additional disbursement for that period is permitted. Equality creates neither difference under those clauses. | S002 §668.22(a)(4)–(5), (e)(4). |\n| **C065** | The statutory “amount not earned” clause applies the unearned percentage to **disbursed plus potentially disbursable aid as of withdrawal**. Regulatory (e)(4) defines the amount to be returned as **aid disbursed as of determination minus earned aid**. These are not interchangeable expressions. Statutory (a)(4)(B) also addresses received assistance exceeding earned assistance. No silent algebraic harmonization or validity conclusion is made. | S001 §1091b(a)(3)(C), (a)(4)(B); S002 §668.22(e)(4). |\n| **C066** | The institution’s regulatory return is the **lesser** of the total unearned amount to be returned and institutional charges for the selected period multiplied by the unearned percentage. Student grant protection does not reduce this institutional formula. | S002 §668.22(g)(1); compare S001 §1091b(b)(1). |\n| **C067** | Institutional charges include tuition, fees, institution-contracted room/board, and other assessed educationally related expenses. For a nonterm program calculated by payment period but charged over a longer period, the charge base is the **greater** of prorated longer-period charges or Title IV assistance retained for institutional charges as of withdrawal. | S002 §668.22(g)(2)–(3); S006 §668.164(c)(5). |\n| **C068** | The handbook generally uses charges initially assessed, adjusted for legitimate changes **before withdrawal**, not subsequent refund-driven reductions. Other aid paying charges does not by itself reduce the charge base. Ledger placement alone does not decide whether a charge is institutional. These ordinary-calculation statements must be read subject to the separate full-refund exemption. | S016 Ch.1, institutional-charge headings; S002 §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(A)(6). |\n| **C069** | Official charge guidance addresses required materials with no real/reasonable unaffiliated purchase option; requires documentation for claimed alternatives; and provides a conditional documented-cost exclusion for nonreturnable equipment or equipment not returned in good condition within 20 days. A reasonable, consistent, fair policy disclosed at enrollment is necessary; declaring all used items nonreturnable is not sufficient. Application fees, specified continuing insurance, discretionary charges, and refundable damage deposits receive distinct treatment. | S016 Ch.1, complete institutional/noninstitutional, equipment-return, and alternative-purchase headings. G; no actual policy inspected. |\n| **C070** | Crediting a PWD is constrained by §668.164(c), not merely by an account balance. Current-period tuition/fees/institutional room-board and properly authorized educational goods/services are distinguished. Book/supply inclusion has alternative conditions; prior-year charges are capped at $200 with “current year” determined by loan/award-year rules. Prior current-year unpaid allowable charges require eligibility in that period. | S006 §668.164(c)(1)–(5), §668.165(b); M029. |\n| **C071** | The student-side amount is the total unearned amount to return **minus** the institution’s required return. This is a program allocation, not proof of a school’s enforceable receivable. | S002 §668.22(h)(1)–(2); S001 §1091b(b)(2)(A). |\n| **C072** | Loan amounts allocated to the student—or parent for parent PLUS—are repaid according to loan terms. Grants are treated as overpayments subject to the selected protection and repayment provisions. A grant and a loan do not acquire identical immediate payment treatment. | S002 §668.22(h)(3); S001 §1091b(b)(2)(B). |\n| **C073** | Regulatory grant protection excludes the portion at or below **50% of total grants disbursed plus potentially disbursable** for the period. After applying it, an overpayment **of $50 or less for a grant program**, which is **not a remaining balance**, is not required to be returned. This is not a $50 write-off of a larger balance reduced through payments. | S002 §668.22(h)(3)(ii)(A)–(B); S023 explanation. |\n| **C074** | The statute states 50% of total grant assistance **received** and a minimum exception for amounts of $50 or less. The regulation adds “could have been disbursed,” program-specific wording, and the nonremaining-balance qualification. These textual differences are preserved. | S001 §1091b(b)(2)(C); S002 §668.22(h)(3)(ii); S020 §8022. |\n| **C075** | The institution must send a withdrawal-related grant-overpayment notice within **30 days of determination**. The student-side eligibility-preserving window uses the **earlier** of 45 days after notice is sent or 45 days after it was required to be sent, with repayment or the specified agreement during that window. This is a sending-based rule, not a receipt presumption. | S002 §668.22(h)(4)(i)–(ii). |\n| **C076** | An institution choosing a repayment agreement must permit repayment while maintaining eligibility and require full repayment within **two years of determination**. Referral is required for failure to act within the window, breach of the institutional agreement, or election of a Secretary agreement. The specified loss/regaining of eligibility is conditional; it is not an actual award determination. | S002 §668.22(h)(4)(iii)–(vi), complete. |\n| **C077** | Disaster waiver is discretionary with the Secretary and requires the specified residence/employment/institution location, a presidential major-disaster declaration, disaster-caused interruption, and temporal condition. The statute says withdrawal **“ended” within the academic year or next**; the regulation says withdrawal **“occurred” within the award year or next**. The 2006 preamble explains its award-year choice; it does not erase the textual difference. The waiver concerns student grant returns, not institutional returns. | S001 §1091b(b)(2)(D)–(E); S002 §668.22(h)(5); S013; S018–S019; S023–S024. |\n| **C078** | Current regulatory returns are credited to outstanding balances for the relevant period in this order: **unsubsidized Direct Stafford; subsidized Direct Stafford; Direct PLUS received on behalf of the student; then Pell; Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant; FSEOG; TEACH**. Remaining-grant ordering follows repayment of the specified outstanding loan amounts. | S002 §668.22(i)(1)–(2). |\n| **C079** | Statutory ordering separately lists §1078-8 loans, §1078 loans, unsubsidized nonparent Direct loans, subsidized Direct loans, Part E loans, §1078-2 loans, and parent Direct loans; then Part A subparts 1 and 3 and other covered assistance. That statutory list is retained separately from the narrower current regulation; it does not prove current origination availability for every listed program. | S001 §1091b(b)(3), complete. |\n| **C080** | The institution’s withdrawal return must be made as soon as possible and no later than **45 days after determination**. §668.173(b) specifies the qualifying deposit/transfer/EFT/adjustment/check acts; a check fails if issued after day 45 or bank-endorsed after day 60. This is distinct from §668.21’s 30/45 framework. | S001 §1091b(b)(1); S002 §668.22(j)(1); S007 §668.173(b). |\n\n### E. Post-withdrawal disbursement and downstream boundaries\n\n| Claim ID | Supported proposition and qualifications | Exact authority and scope |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **C081** | PWDs use available **grant funds before loan funds**. Grant PWDs may be credited up to outstanding allowable charges; loan PWD credits require borrower confirmation in addition to allowable-charge rules. | S002 §668.22(a)(6)(i), (ii)(A); S006 §668.164(c). |\n| **C082** | Grant PWD amounts not credited to the account must be disbursed directly as soon as possible and no later than **45 days after determination**. This is different from the loan-confirmation process. | S002 §668.22(a)(6)(ii)(B)(1). |\n| **C083** | Within **30 days of determination**, the institution must provide written loan-PWD notification to the student or parent PLUS borrower identifying type/amount, requesting confirmation for credit/direct payment, explaining partial acceptance/declination, possible institutional concurrence for redirecting declined account credits, repayment obligation, and response consequence. | S002 §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(A)(1)–(5), complete; S001 §1091b(a)(4)(A). |\n| **C084** | The loan-PWD response period is **14 days from sending**, or a later institutional deadline. The same deadline applies to account-credit and direct-payment confirmation. This is not an automatic right to receive declined account-credit funds directly. | S002 §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(A)(3), (A)(5), (B). |\n| **C085** | A timely confirmation requires disbursement in the specified manner as soon as possible, no later than **180 days after determination**, subject to the other late-disbursement prohibitions and valid underlying eligibility. | S002 §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(C); S006 §668.164(j)(4). |\n| **C086** | A late response may be honored only on the stated basis, including disbursing **all accepted funds**, or declined. A late-response denial must be communicated in writing. No response permits no loan PWD. Notification results and final decision must be documented. | S002 §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(D)–(F), (iv). |\n| **C087** | Late disbursement is broader than withdrawal: §668.164(j)(3) separately addresses completed periods and students who cease half-time enrollment without withdrawing. Those categories cannot be relabeled as PWDs. For clock/nonterm programs, Pell/TEACH later-period payment also requires completion of the preceding paid period and other program prerequisites. | S006 §668.164(j)(3); S034 §690.75(a), §686.31(a). |\n| **C088** | Written authorizations under §668.165(b) must be voluntary, explain the activity/time period, and permit cancellation/modification. The ordinary §668.165(a) notification/cancellation framework expressly distinguishes §668.22 PWDs; its ordinary periods must not be substituted for the PWD periods. Authorization to retain credit balances has its own limits. | S006 §668.165(a)–(b), complete selected body. |\n| **C089** | Required consumer information separately identifies the institution’s refund policy, official withdrawal procedure, and a summary of R2T4 requirements. The federal disclosure obligation is not evidence of any particular policy’s terms or compliance. | S002 §668.22(k); S008 §668.43(a)(2)–(4). |\n| **C090** | For Direct Loans, the Secretary applies an institutional refund/return received under §668.22 against outstanding principal and notifies the borrower. This is a crediting rule; it does not establish discharge of the entire loan or the amount of any remaining obligation. | S009 §685.211(c), complete. |\n| **C091** | Ordinary Title IV return, institutional tuition refund, and a possible institutional receivable are separate legal questions. The full-refund exemption is an express narrow exception requiring cancellation of the specified return-created institutional balance.

Historical, not present deadlines. |\n| **C094** | The two September 21, 2005 Acts added the separate Pell and other-grant student-return disaster waivers using the statutory academic-year/“ended” language. | S018–S019, complete enacted bodies. |\n| **C095** | PL 109-171 §8022 introduced the relevant scheduled-clock-hour, multiple-LOA, loan-confirmation, 45-day institutional return, and 50%/$50 grant-protection amendments; §8001(c) supplies July 1, 2006 effectiveness absent another provision. | S020, complete selected clauses. |\n| **C096** | The 2002 rule amended selected LOA and related provisions, with July 1, 2003 effectiveness and permitted November 1, 2002 early implementation. Current LOA treatment comes from the current text and later amendments, not this historical version alone. | S022 instruction 11 and Dates. |\n| **C097** | The 2006 interim/final instruments implemented the selected statutory changes. The final instrument changed disaster wording from “ended” to “occurred” while retaining award-year treatment. The preamble explains award-year treatment because relevant grants are awarded by award year. | S023 instruction 13/preamble; S024 instruction 4. |\n| **C098** | The 2007 rule supplies the complete nonattendance return structure and the material loan-PWD confirmation/timing revision read here; it became effective July 1, 2008 with permitted earlier implementation. | S025 instructions 5 and selected complete PWD amendment. |\n| **C099** | The 2008 selected amendments added TEACH treatment to §§668.21–.22; their July 1, 2008 effective date does not establish the full current TEACH service/repayment regime. | S026 instructions 8–9 and Dates. |\n| **C100** | The 2010 rule materially revised attendance requirements and withdrawal organization and renumbered relevant paragraphs. Its selected provisions became effective July 1, 2011. | S027 instruction 18 and Dates. |\n| **C101** | The actual 2015 amendatory body places late-disbursement rules in §668.164(j), effective July 1, 2016. Current (i) instead concerns early disbursements. | S028 selected complete (j); S006 current (i)–(j). |\n| **C102** | The 2020 rule added/revised the modular and subscription withdrawal routes and definitions, with July 1, 2021 effectiveness and September 2, 2020 permitted early implementation. Its former module-scheduling rule was later replaced by the 2025 amendment. | S029 instruction 20; S014 instruction 12. |\n| **C103** | The 2025 final rule adopted the full-refund exemption, attendance-documentation, prison-program LOA, clock-hour, and module changes. It **did not finalize** the proposed ordinary-note treatment for never-attending loan recipients or the proposed general distance-education attendance mandate. A proposal is not current operative text. | S014 complete relevant preamble sections and instruction 12. |\n| **C104** | Current §668.22(a)(5) points to **§668.164(i)**. Actual 2020 instruction 20(g) made that change, while instructions 20(i)–(j) changed §668.22(l)(1)/(4) to **§668.164(j)**. The mismatch is authenticated, not repaired by assumption. The independently read current (j) supplies the expressly labeled late-disbursement rules. | S002 (a)(5), (l)(1)/(4); S029 instruction 20(g), (i)–(j); S006. |\n| **C105** | Other numbering issues remain: §668.164(j)(3)(i) references §668.22(a)(4)/(5), while current PWD treatment is in (a)(5)/(6); §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(A)(5) points to (C) for a late response, while (D) contains the late-response choice. Each operative adjacent clause was read; no claimed official correction was found/read. | S006 §668.164(j)(3)(i); S002 §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(A)(5), (C)–(D). |\n| **C106** | §668.4(d) invokes §682.604(c)(10) and §685.301(b)(8). Those paragraphs are not present in the current target bodies inspected. Application of that payment-period exception therefore remains unresolved; no replacement provision is silently substituted. | S004 §668.4(d); S010 §685.301(b); S011 §682.604. |\n| **C107** | Current regulation says official **EFC**; the 2026–2027 handbook uses official **SAI**. PL 117-103 §102’s actual text authenticates the delayed implementation dates and limited early treatment, but the original PL 116-260 body failed retrieval. The complete substantive replacement/application chain is therefore partial. | S006 §668.164(j)(2)(i); S016 Step1; S032; S033 failure. |\n| **C108** | The encountered 2026 future rule generally takes effect July 1, 2027, with separate August 31, 2026 instructions. Its inspected definition-change list and §668.43(d) instruction do not replace the selected current full-time/half-time definitions or §668.43(a)(2)–(4). The broader rule was not investigated. | S030 Dates, instructions 5 and 8. |\n| **C109** | Source failures and differing compilation dates limit certification. No failure proves repeal, absence of law, defective credentials, or an operational/model limit. No exhaustive review of uncodified special relief, later amendments, judicial treatment, or actual implementation is claimed. | Source/failure registers; S001–S034 read bounds. |\n| **C110** | “Eligible prison education program” has cumulative program/institution, oversight approval, credit-transfer, adverse-action, licensing/employment, and exception predicates in §668.236. The LOA carveout does not establish those predicates or dispense with the rest of the LOA rule. | S031 complete (a)–(c); S002 §668.22(d)(1)(vii). Incorporated qualification regimes held. |\n| **C111** | The master-calendar statute generally postpones regulatory changes not final by November 1 before the relevant award year until the prescribed later award year; it permits the Secretary to designate earlier implementation through a Federal Register notice with conditions/timing. An institution’s election has effect under those designated terms. | S012 §1089(c)(1)–(2), complete. |\n| **C112** | FSA’s 2026 announcement instructs calculation within 30 days after withdrawal determination and return within 45 days; the general calculation statement is agency instruction. Current §668.22’s express 30-day provisions have their own particular subjects, including unofficial determination, loan-PWD notice, and grant-overpayment notice. The 14-day attendance provision concerns documentation. | S015; S002 §668.22(b)(2), (a)(6)(iii), (h)(4)(ii), (j). |\n\n## 3. Provision-specific comparison\n\n| ID | Comparison | Supported distinction and cumulative conditions | Claim/source links; coverage |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **D01** | Nonattendance versus withdrawal | §668.21 concerns no beginning attendance in the relevant period and has program-specific return rules. §668.22 requires beginning attendance and then a legally defined withdrawal, unless an exception applies. | C005–C007, C022–C030; S001–S002. **Answered; application held.** |\n| **D02** | Actual nonattendance versus optional full-refund exemption | The exemption can address a student who began attendance, but only with all four statutory-regulatory conditions and the institution’s optional use. Retaining evidence of initial eligibility/attendance is compatible with the special record treatment. | C026, C038–C039; S002/S014/S015. |\n| **D03** | Withdrawal date versus determination date | The former drives earned-aid timing; the latter starts several institutional return/PWD/notice clocks. The nonrequired-institution definition lists different determination events by category. | C042–C049, C054, C080–C086; S002. |\n| **D04** | Attendance-required versus nonrequired | Required status can come from outside or institutional requirements and may be limited by students/time. Required institutions use attendance records; nonrequired institutions have official, midpoint, circumstances, and documented-activity rules. | C040–C048; S002. |\n| **D05** | Payment period versus enrollment period | Standard-term R2T4 is payment-period based. Nonterm/nonstandard programs have a consistent-category choice. Underlying payment-period definitions and unequal-term overlapping aid can change the relevant base. | C017–C021; S002/S004. **Partial as to stale §668.4(d).** |\n| **D06** | Credit hours versus clock hours | Credit-hour R2T4 uses included calendar days. Clock-hour R2T4 uses scheduled hours since actual beginning in that selected period. Successful completion of hours/weeks for payment-period progression is a separate test. | C015, C018, C055–C057; S002–S004. |\n| **D07** | Modular 49% exemption versus 60% earned-aid boundary | The former is a successful-completion nonwithdrawal test with its own denominator/exclusions. The latter determines earned percentage after withdrawal is established. Equality and rounding differ. | C033–C034, C057–C059; S002/S016. |\n| **D08** | Earned assistance versus payable PWD | Potentially disbursable aid can increase the earned base without being legally payable after withdrawal. Origination, note, prior-period completion, timing, valid aid-record, and other eligibility conditions remain. | C054, C060–C064, C081–C087; S006/S010/S016/S034. |\n| **D09** | Institution versus student/parent | Institutional return uses the lesser-of formula. Student responsibility is residual. Parent responsibility attaches to the specified parent-borrowed loan category, not to all student assistance. | C066–C076; S001–S002. |\n| **D10** | Grant versus loan | Grants have overpayment protections and specified agreement/eligibility treatment. Allocated loan amounts follow loan terms. Loan PWD requires confirmation; direct grant PWD has a different duty/deadline. | C072–C086; S001–S002. |\n| **D11** | Return to program versus tuition refund or school debt | Return is a federal aid allocation. Refund policy and private liability require separate authority/facts. The optional exemption expressly requires a defined refund and write-off; ordinary returns do not. | C038, C067–C070, C089–C091; S002/S008/S016. |\n| **D12** | Mandatory effective date versus optional early implementation | July 1, 2026 applicability and the two designated February 3, 2025 early provisions must be distinguished from earlier historical implementation regimes. No actual institutional election is established. | C002–C003, C093–C103, C111; S012/S014/S015/S017–S029. |\n| **D13** | Statute versus regulation | Both are read directly. Differences in unearned bases, grant-protection wording, disaster periods, program lists, and unofficial-date wording are retained. No judicial reconciliation is inferred. | C046, C065, C074, C077–C079. **Partial/unresolved reconciliation.** |\n| **D14** | Regulation versus manual | Net-loan entry, rounding, charge interpretation, and operational instructions are labeled guidance. The manual’s SAI terminology does not silently amend the retrieved EFC text. | C004, C059–C061, C068–C070, C107, C112. |\n| **D15** | Notice sent versus notice received versus payment | PWD response and grant-overpayment windows use specified sending events; final demands use mailing; return methods use specified institutional/bank acts. None supplies an actual receipt or due date. | C027–C029, C075, C080, C083–C086; S002/S007/S009/S011. |\n| **D16** | Program return versus collection/relief | A principal credit, note-based repayment rule, or conditional demand consequence does not establish collection status, discharge, a receivable, credit damage, or an appropriate financial action. | C028–C029, C072, C090–C092. |\n\n## 4. Complete measurement register for quantities relied on\n\n**Application facts are absent for every row.** No row is a calculation. “Days” means the unit actually stated in the cited provision; where the text does not establish a general business/calendar-day convention, holiday extension, receipt presumption, or endpoint rule, this register does not add one.

Remaining hours/weeks set the base. | §668.4(g); C019 |\n| **M010** | Attendance documentation **within 14 days** of last attendance | Attendance-required category. Preamble explains calendar days, including weekends, holidays, and breaks; not automatic administrative withdrawal. | §668.22(b)(2); S014 pp.485–487; C042 |\n| **M011** | Unofficial-withdrawal determination **≤30 days after earliest relevant ending** | Nonrequired institution; earliest end of applicable period, academic year, or educational program. | §668.22(j)(2); C049 |\n| **M012** | Approved LOA total **≤180 days in any 12-month period** | Aggregate all approved leaves; first day of initial leave starts counting and period.

Optional institutional use; no actual election. | §668.22(a)(2)(ii)(A)(6); C038–C039 |\n| **M017** | Earned-aid monetary base: disbursed + qualifying potentially disbursable aid; handbook uses **net loans** | Period-specific, with withdrawal/determination dates distinguished; no double count of disbursed/potential aid; actual fees/limits absent. | §668.22(e)(1),(4); S016 Step1; C054/C060–C065 |\n| **M018** | Institution’s return: **lesser** of total return amount or charges × unearned percentage | Charges are period-specific. Nonterm longer-charge base uses **greater** of prorated charges and aid retained for charges. Equal payment periods: total program charges / number of periods; otherwise period hours / program hours × total charges. | §668.22(g); §668.164(c)(5); C066–C067 |\n| **M019** | Grant protection **50%**; de minimis **≤$50 per grant program**, after protection, **not a remaining balance** | Regulation’s base is disbursed + could; statute says received.

Conditional legal-category branches\n\nThe branch table also supplies **branch-level coverage**. “Answered/held” means the generic conditional rule is supported while every actual application remains held. “Partial” identifies a public-authority gap as well.\n\n| Branch | Conditional rule and exact links | Missing predicate/authority | Adverse inference to avoid | Next permissible generic public-law inquiry; coverage |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **B01 Scope/program unknown** | Apply only the program/category list governing the particular route. C005–C009; S001/S002/S004. | Program, legal award category, period, applicable version. | Every federal/private loan or grant follows the same return rule. | Read the relevant program’s current authorization/application clauses if its category becomes material. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B02 No attendance** | §668.21’s distinct institutional duties apply upon the specified nonattendance predicate. C022–C027; S002. | Beginning attendance and disbursement classifications. | Use the 60% calculation for never-attendance. | Examine only generic ED interpretations of §668.21’s period/program boundary. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B03 Attendance evidence unknown** | Inability to document any class during the period invokes §668.21(c); §668.22 activity requires institutional support. C010–C011/C026. | Documentation category and legally relevant activity. | Missing evidence proves fraud, or a login proves attendance. | Read generic academic-engagement and attendance-documentation interpretations, without records. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B04 Withdrawal after attendance** | Apply §668.22 only after beginning attendance and satisfying a withdrawal condition, subject to exemptions. C030–C039. | Completion, program/calendar, exception facts. | Every cessation is automatically a withdrawal. | Read generic interpretation of the particular §668.22(a)(2) category. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B05 Attendance-required category** | Outside, institutional, or comparable-process requirements can qualify, with student/time/census limits.

C050–C053. | Policy category, approval/request/timing, expectation of return. | A school-approved academic leave automatically is Title IV-approved LOA. | Read generic interpretation of the specific LOA condition. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B09 Eligible prison program** | Coursework-resumption exception applies only to the legally qualified category; other LOA requirements persist. C052/C110. | Incorporated institutional/program/oversight qualifications. | Incarceration alone establishes the exception. | Read complete indispensable §§668.235/668.241 and institution/program definitions if qualification must be explained. **Partial/held.** |\n| **B10 Modular completion** | Successful ≥49% module completion or applicable half-time coursework can prevent withdrawal.

C042–C049. | Relevant legal category and triggering event. | Start every deadline from last class or notice receipt. | Read generic determination guidance for the precise category. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B14 Period choice** | Standard-term payment-period rule and nonterm/nonstandard consistent-category choice govern.

C033/C058–C059. | Exact legal fraction and rounding convention. | Treat60% as100% or round a deficient49% result upward. | Read current official rounding instructions if changed. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B17 Institutional charges** | Statutory/regulatory charges, handbook interpretation, and creditable charges are different inquiries. C067–C070. | Charge category, prewithdrawal assessment, prorating, lawful authorization. | Every ledger debit is an institutional charge or enforceable debt. | Read generic clarification of the particular charge category, not school policies. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B18 Disbursed versus potential aid** | Net aid, inadvertent disbursements, pre-ineligibility conditions, and limits determine categories. C054/C060–C064. | Origination/award/record/note timing; applicable aid limits. | Potential aid is necessarily payable cash. | Authenticate SAI/EFC statutory transition and relevant annual record deadline. **Partial/held.** |\n| **B19 Late-loan restrictions** | The first-year/first-time, second-disbursement, note, and outer-time restrictions remain independent.

C066–C067/C080. | Correct aid/charge bases and determination date. | Student grant protection halves the institution’s return. | Read any generic correction affecting §668.22(g) or §668.173(b). **Answered/held.** |\n| **B21 Student/parent distinction** | Residual responsibility and parent PLUS borrowing category must be separated; loans follow their terms. C071–C072. | Borrower role, program, allocation. | A parent is liable for every student grant or institutional balance. | Read narrowly relevant current parent-loan provisions if a generic borrower definition needs expansion. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B22 Grant protection** | Apply the specified base,50% protection, and ≤$50 nonremaining per-program rule. C073–C076. | Base, program, whether original overpayment or remaining balance. | Every balance below$50 is cancelled. | Read official clarification reconciling “received” and “could have been disbursed.” **Partial reconciliation/held application.** |\n| **B23 Return order** | Use the applicable period’s outstanding balances and exact statutory/regulatory sequence. C078–C079. | Program and historical/current applicability. | A listed legacy program is currently originating awards. | Read current program repeal/transition clauses only if that legacy category matters. **Answered text/held availability.** |\n| **B24 PWD offer/consent** | Grant credit/direct payment and loan written confirmation are distinct; content and partial acceptance conditions apply. C081–C086. | Aid type, lawful charges, confirmation, response. | Silence authorizes a loan disbursement. | Read generic PWD notification guidance; no notice drafting. **Answered/held.** |\n| **B25 Timing/service absent** | Each clock retains its own awareness, determination, sending, mailing, or bank-act trigger. C027–C029/C075/C080/C083–C086. | Trigger and delivery/counting evidence; general extension conventions. | A webpage’s “days” means business days or supplies a receipt presumption. | Read a complete applicable generic counting/delivery provision before any calendar computation. **Partial counting/held application.** |\n| **B26 Disaster waiver** | Formal declaration, location, causation, temporal condition, and Secretary discretion are cumulative. C077. | All predicates; academic/award-year reconciliation. | Any disaster creates automatic waiver or waives institutional returns. | Read generic official clarification of the year/event discrepancy; no declaration/area lookup. **Partial/held.** |\n| **B27 Statutory/regulatory discrepancy** | Preserve different bases, words, and references; adjacent operative bodies were read separately. C046/C065/C074/C077/C104–C107. | Corrective instrument or controlling authorized interpretation. | Silently amend text or announce invalidity/judicial consensus. | Search public generic corrective/amendatory instruments for the exact provision. **Unresolved reconciliation.** |\n| **B28 Current/early/historical application** | Match event to effective/application provisions and any permitted institutional early election. C002–C003/C093–C103/C111. | Relevant period and implementation category. | Publication date alone makes every provision operative. | Recheck current eCFR and actual Federal Register application clauses. **Answered framework/held application.** |\n| **B29 Source failure/currentness** | Failed originals support no legal conclusion; successful alternatives remain bounded by their displayed currency. C001/C109. | Original FAFSA body, foreign-disbursement clauses, complete later-law chain. | Failure proves absence/repeal or authorizes a workaround. | Retry ordinary official public originals or another official published format; no security bypass. **Partial.** |\n| **B30 Return/refund/institutional debt** | Ordinary return, refund policy, principal credit, and privately enforceable balance are separate; narrow exemption write-off is explicit. C089–C092. | Applicable contract/other law, excluded from this pass. | Federal return establishes school debt, forgiveness, or collection rights. | Identify the distinct public-law regime needed for the question without examining an actual contract. **Answered boundary; downstream excluded.** |\n| **B31 Remaining parent dimensions** | This component supplies no conclusion on tax, credit, collection, bankruptcy, private loans, family allocation, or suitability.

Explicit unresolved issues and downstream holds\n\n| Gap | What is established | What remains unresolved / exact next generic inquiry |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **G01 Full currentness chain** | Current official-publisher compilations and material selected originals were read. | Exhaustive enactment, correction, uncodified special-relief, and judicial history through the access date was not established. Recheck exact provisions and later official amendatory texts; do not infer absence from no result. |\n| **G02 Main late-disbursement cross-reference** | Current §668.22(a)(5) says (i); current late-disbursement body is (j); actual 2020 amendment confirms the mismatch. | Locate an official correction or specific generic reconciliation. No judicial answer is supplied. |\n| **G03 Other numbering mismatches** | §668.164(j)(3)(i), §668.22(a)(6)(iii)(A)(5), and §668.4(d) contain identified inconsistencies/missing targets. | Authenticate each replacement/correction individually before operational reliance on the cross-reference. |\n| **G04 Statutory/regulatory bases** | Both complete texts and material 2006 amendments were read. | Meaning/reconciliation of received versus potentially disbursable grant base, statutory versus regulatory unearned amount, and unofficial-date breadth is not finally adjudicated here. |\n| **G05 Disaster year/event language** | Statute, regulation, original waiver Acts, and implementing explanation were read. | Academic-year/award-year and “ended”/“occurred” difference remains; no actual waiver, declaration, or geographic lookup. |\n| **G06 SAI/EFC** | Current handbook and regulation differ; actual 2022 effective-date amendment read. | Original substantive PL116-260 body and complete subsequent application chain were not retrieved. |\n| **G07 Foreign/study-abroad disbursement** | §668.21’s express treatment and final-demand incorporations read. | Current §682.207(b)(1)(v)(C)(1)/(D) body inaccessible. |\n| **G08 Actual annual deadlines and eligibility** | §668.164(j)(4)(iv) requires a valid aid record by a separately published deadline. | No award year or individual eligibility facts supplied; no annual deadline selected or computed. Full eligibility, limits, and program availability remain separate. |\n| **G09 Full institutional/PEP/cohort qualification** | Complete relevant selected definitions and conditions read. | Incorporations into licensing, accreditation, institutional eligibility, prison-program oversight, and cohort-default-rate methodology require separate bounded inquiry if indispensable. |\n| **G10 Delivery/counting** | Express sending, mailing, calendar-day, awareness, determination, and bank-act triggers recorded. | No universal receipt presumption, holiday extension, business-day convention, or actual service event established. |\n| **G11 Tuition refund and private liability** | Federal returns and required refund disclosures are distinct; the optional exemption contains a narrow express write-off condition. | Actual refund policy, contract, enforceable receivable, restitution, or collection rights remain outside this pass. |\n| **G12 Other parent dimensions** | This component describes only selected federal return mechanisms. | Discharge, cancellation, servicing/default beyond indispensable clauses, collection operations, credit reporting, tax, bankruptcy, State protections, family financial allocation, affordability, and suitability remain held. |\n\n## 10. Researcher self-check — not independent review\n\n| Check | Result of this pass |\n| --- | --- |\n| Independent investigation | Earlier reports and conversations were not used as substantive foundations. |\n| Core completeness | Complete current retrieved bodies of §1091b and §§668.21–.22 read, including nested exceptions and displayed notes/source credits. |\n| Primary-source discipline | Legal findings rest on official statutory/regulatory bodies and actual selected enacted/amendatory instruments; handbook and announcement statements are labeled guidance. |\n| Effective/application distinction | Publication, effectiveness, mandatory application, optional early implementation, compilation currency, and actual access date are kept separate. |\n| Numerical discipline | Every relied-on operative quantity and reported historical/application date is registered; no personal, institutional, financial, or calendar input was invented. |\n| Category discipline | Nonattendance, withdrawal, full-refund exemption, earned aid, potential aid, PWD, institutional return, student grant overpayment, and note repayment remain distinct. |\n| Discrepancies | Identified textual and numbering differences remain visible; none was silently repaired. |\n| Source failures | Failed originals and successful ordinary alternatives are disclosed; no security/CAPTCHA workaround used. |\n| Read-bound accuracy | No whole-document, whole-regime, PDF-pixel, form, or actual-record review is claimed from selected text. |\n| Worksheet | All authority/evidence/analysis/result cells are genuinely blank. |\n| Identifying data and actions | No actual or invented identifying-party, institution, account, attendance, award, case, roster, contract, or completed-notice inquiry was made; no filing, contact, transaction, or operative document was produced. |\n| Application and acceptance | No individual eligibility, liability, return, refund, deadline, breach, default, relief, or recommended financial/legal action is established. No component, A077/parent, operational, or publication acceptance is asserted. |\n| Review status | This is the researcher’s own check. **It is not independent review.** |\n\nEND R077
