Abstract:
Under the proposed regulations in ยงยง682.215(e)(2) and 685.221.(e)(2), the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) loan holder or the Department in the case of a Direct Loan, after making a determination that a borrower has a partial financial hardship to qualify for an income based repayment (IBR) repayment plan would send the borrower a written notification that would include the following information: the borrower's scheduled monthly payment amount, and the time period during which that monthly payment amount will apply (annual payment period); information about the requirement for the borrower to annually provide income information (and, in some cases for married FFEL program borrowers, information about the eligible loans of the borrower's spouse) and certify family size, if the borrower chooses to remain on the IBR plan after the initial year on the plan, an explanation that the borrower will be notified in advance of the date by which the loan holder must receive this information; an explanation of the consequences if the borrower does not annually provide the required information; and information about the borrower's option to request, at any time during the borrower's current annual payment period, that the loan holder recalculate the borrower's monthly payment amount if the borrower's financial circumstances have changed and the income amount that was used to calculate the borrower's current monthly payment no longer reflects the borrower's current income.
