Thanks for letting us know. You are the first person, that I am aware of, to report this, in this forum. With the rule change, it makes sense that the eligible foreign schools would now go to the effort of obtaining a US tax ID number. See https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/library/electronic-announcements/2018-08-06/general-subj....
Are you sure the number you got is an EIN and not just the Dept. of Education number?
