How is HESC handling the New York State Residency requirement? Are the TAP guidelines being used?
HESC will use the New York State residence self-reported field in HESC’s Student Loan Marketplace to determine residency. The servicer will also be able to verify residency through their data collection process. Colleges will also be able to contact HESC if they feel a borrower may not be eligible for NYHELPs due to residency.
