Upgraded Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) software is required for the transmission of federal tax information (FTI) for the 2024–25 award year and beyond. New versions of EDconnect 8.6.0 and TDClient are now available on the Software and Other Tools page of the Federal Student Aid Knowledge Center website, along with an accompanying user guide that includes installation instructions. Additionally, user documentation has been provided for use with the new FTI-TDCommunity Manager (FTI-TDCM).
The upgraded SAIG software must be installed to receive 2024–25 Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) in a new FTI-SAIG mailbox. The FTI-SAIG will be a new instance of the SAIG—a separate system from the existing SAIG— and it will include updated security protocols and enhanced features to ensure protection of FTI data during transmission. The FTI-SAIG has been designed to exclusively handle the transmission of ISIR data containing FTI, while the existing SAIG will remain the designated platform for handling all other types of batch data.
