OTC AskRegs Experts: Understanding Comment Code 352 and Best Practices to Prevent Student Aid Fraud
Thursday, 4 June, 2026

This week on "Off the Cuff," Jill, Sarah, and Maria discuss questions regarding 2026-27 reprocessed ISIRs, and best practices for institutions to prevent student aid fraud. Jill starts by noting that reprocessed ISIRs recently started arriving in financial aid offices with comment code 352 and a corresponding C-Flag and explains what that means. Jill goes on to detail what NASFAA knows so far about this issue, including which ISIRs are affected. From there, Sarah goes through best practices shared by the Department of Education (ED) on how institutions can help prevent student aid fraud.
