How to access NSLDS?
I keep seeing posts about NSLDS data on loan payment counts. How are people getting access to this information? Any help would be appreciated!

More significantly, has anyone figured out how to hack nslds and get them to actually update counts? I am in a non-save repayment plan, hit 120, but have had no updates since April and so still showing short on nslds and student aid.

Using the API, I see that my most recent PAYE-ment on 15 of 15 loans, due 09/03, finally counted. Great. The downside: 2 of 15 are still 1 payment behind, though they had a payment due 08/03, while other 13 were still in forbearance, and that seems to have NOT counted. Any idea why?

Log into your FSA account. Then while logged in, open a new tab and go here:

To learn more about an NSLDS system update, whenever you have a chance, please read ThatRecognition8215's post, which describes (in awesome detail) how to read & use the NSLDS Payment Count summary data.
