How does NSLDS data import actually work?
Your client downloads their MyStudentData file from studentaid.gov and sends it over. You drag the .txt into Finology Software and the full federal-loan history — servicer, balance, rate, plan, qualifying payment count — is parsed and ready in seconds. No CSVs to wrangle, no screenshots, no manual entry.
Which IDR plans can I model side-by-side?
All current federal plans — PAYE, IBR (new and old), ICR, and the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) under OBBB — plus the standard, graduated, and extended schedules. Run up to four scenarios in parallel with different income, family-size, and forgiveness assumptions.
Is the platform OBBB-compliant?
Yes. The Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) introduced under the One Big Beautiful Bill is a first-class plan in our simulator, and forgiveness math, AGI thresholds, and family-size adjustments update automatically as the rules evolve.
Can I produce client-ready reports?
Every plan you build can be exported as a branded PDF — your firm's logo, your disclosures, side-by-side scenario tables, and a one-page action plan the client can take to their servicer.
How is pricing structured?
A single per-advisor seat, billed monthly or annually. Unlimited clients, unlimited scenarios, unlimited reports — no per-import fees, no per-PDF fees.
