FAFSA Direct Loan Disclosure Statement never arrived - what should I do?

sameeee i accepted my loans like a month ago and nothing showed up in my email. finaid office keeps saying to just wait but idk wat to do anymore

The Direct Loan Disclosure Statement should arrive by email from donotreply@studentloans.gov - have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes they get filtered out. If you accepted a Parent PLUS loan, it goes to your parent's email, not yours. Also double check that your contact info is correct in both your school's system AND on studentaid.gov.

Last year my disclosure statement got sent to an old email address that I hadn't used in years! Somehow my contact info in the FSA system never updated even though I changed it with my school. Had to call them to fix it. Such a mess.

This is actually a common issue this year. There have been significant delays in processing due to the FAFSA Simplification Act implementation. Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into studentaid.gov and verify your communication preferences are set to receive electronic communication 2. Call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 and specifically ask about the status of your loan disclosure statement 3. Ask if they can resend it or provide you with instructions for signing electronically through the portal Your school's financial aid office can also initiate an override in certain cases if they verify your loans have been approved but the disclosure statement is delayed. Make sure to explain your payment deadline is approaching.

I had THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM last month!!! Called that FSA number at least 20 times and either got disconnected or was on hold FOREVER!! The whole FAFSA system is completely broken this year and nobody seems to care that students are the ones suffering. My tuition was late because of this and they tried to charge me a late fee!! Had to fight with the bursar's office for DAYS to get it removed. So frustrating!!

I went through this exact situation two weeks ago and finally got it resolved. After trying to call for days, I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual FSA agent. They have this service that holds your place in line and calls you back when an agent is available. Saved me hours of hold time. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ Once I got through, the agent confirmed my loan was approved but there was a flag on my account that was preventing the disclosure statement from being generated. They removed the flag and manually triggered the statement to be sent. Had it in my inbox within 24 hours.

Have you tried asking ur school to print the disclosure statement for u? My boyfriends school could do that when his never came thru the email. Worth asking maybe

Important clarification: You actually don't need to sign the Disclosure Statement - it's just an informational document. What you DO need to sign is the Master Promissory Note (MPN). These are two different documents. The Disclosure Statement shows your loan terms, but the MPN is the actual legal agreement you need to sign before funds disburse. Log into studentaid.gov and check if you've completed your MPN. That might be what your financial aid office is referring to.

UPDATE: I finally got through to FSA using that Claimyr service someone recommended. The agent found that there was a processing delay with my SAI recalculation that was holding up the disclosure statement. They cleared it and manually triggered the statement to be sent. Just got it this morning and forwarded to my financial aid office. They confirmed my loans should disburse in time for the payment deadline! Thanks everyone for your help with this stressful situation!

That's such great news that you got it resolved! I'm dealing with a similar issue right now - my disclosure statement has been "processing" for over 2 weeks. The SAI recalculation delay makes so much sense since mine was also flagged for verification even though I submitted everything months ago. Definitely going to try that Claimyr service today. It's crazy how broken the system is this year - they really should have had better contingency plans for all these processing delays!

I'm a new student and just reading through this thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm actually dealing with a similar situation right now - accepted my loans 2 weeks ago and still no disclosure statement. Based on what everyone has shared, it sounds like the SAI recalculation issues are really widespread this year. I'm definitely going to try the Claimyr service that @Camila Castillo recommended since the regular FSA phone line seems impossible to get through. It's reassuring to know that @Millie Long got hers resolved, but also frustrating that so many students are having to jump through all these hoops just to get basic financial aid processed. Thank you all for sharing your experiences - it's really helpful to know I'm not alone in this!

As someone who just went through the financial aid process for the first time this year, this thread has been incredibly eye-opening! I had no idea these disclosure statement delays were so common. I'm actually still waiting for mine too - accepted my loans about 10 days ago and haven't heard anything yet. Reading about everyone's experiences with the SAI recalculation issues and system glitches makes me feel less anxious about it, but also concerned about my upcoming payment deadline. I'm definitely going to try calling FSA and asking specifically about any flags on my account. Has anyone noticed if certain schools are better at handling these delays than others, or is it pretty much a universal problem this year?

Just wanted to jump in as someone who's been lurking in this community for a while but finally creating an account because of this exact issue! I'm a first-year graduate student and I've been dealing with the same disclosure statement delays. What's been really helpful from reading everyone's experiences is understanding that this isn't just me doing something wrong - it's actually a systemic issue with the new SAI implementation. I tried the Claimyr service that @Camila Castillo mentioned and it was a lifesaver! Got through to an FSA agent in about 30 minutes instead of being on hold for hours. Turns out I had the same SAI recalculation flag issue that seems to be affecting so many students this year. The agent was able to clear it immediately and I received my disclosure statement the next day. For anyone still struggling with this, I'd definitely recommend being very specific when you call FSA - ask them to check for any flags related to SAI processing or verification holds, even if you've already completed verification. The whole system rollout has been such a mess, but at least there are workarounds like this that actually work!

I'm new to this community and currently facing the exact same issue! Just accepted my federal loans two weeks ago and still no disclosure statement in sight. Reading through everyone's experiences has been both reassuring (knowing I'm not alone) and frustrating (realizing how widespread this problem is). The SAI recalculation delays seem to be hitting so many students this year. I'm definitely going to try the Claimyr service that several people have recommended - the regular FSA phone line has been impossible to get through to. My tuition deadline is coming up fast too, so I'm feeling the same stress. Thank you all for sharing your stories and solutions - this community has been incredibly helpful for someone trying to navigate this mess for the first time!

As a new community member, I just want to say how grateful I am to have found this thread! I'm currently experiencing the exact same issue - accepted my federal student loans 3 weeks ago and still haven't received my Direct Loan Disclosure Statement. My payment deadline is approaching fast and I was starting to panic thinking I had done something wrong. Reading through everyone's experiences has been such a relief to know this is a widespread systemic issue with the SAI implementation rather than something I messed up. I'm definitely going to try the Claimyr service that @Camila Castillo and others have recommended, and I'll make sure to ask specifically about SAI recalculation flags when I get through to an FSA agent. It's frustrating that we all have to become troubleshooting experts just to get our basic financial aid processed, but I'm so thankful this community exists to help each other navigate these federal system failures. Thank you all for sharing your stories and solutions - it gives me hope that there's light at the end of this tunnel!

Hey everyone! I'm brand new to this community and just stumbled across this thread while frantically searching for answers about my own disclosure statement delays. I accepted my federal loans almost 3 weeks ago and still nothing! Reading through all your experiences has been such a mix of relief (knowing I'm not crazy or alone in this) and frustration (realizing how broken the system is this year). The SAI recalculation issues seem to be affecting SO many students - it's honestly unacceptable that we're all having to become technical support experts just to get our financial aid processed. I'm definitely going to try that Claimyr service since the regular FSA line seems like a black hole. My tuition payment is due next week and I was starting to have panic attacks thinking I wouldn't be able to start classes. Thank you all for sharing your stories and solutions - this community is literally saving my sanity right now! I'll make sure to update everyone once I (hopefully) get through to FSA and get this mess sorted out.
