The DA Form 5261-4 R is a required addendum for service members enlisting, reenlisting, or extending their service in the Selected Reserve of the Army. This applies to personnel in the Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS) and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) who seek benefits under the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP).
This form documents the obligations and participation requirements for SLRP entitlement. It covers eligibility criteria, authorized loan repayment amounts, suspension conditions, and termination circumstances. Service members must serve satisfactorily in their designated military occupational specialty (MOS) and follow the procedural steps to request loan repayments. The federal government may repay qualifying student loans up to the authorized maximum during the enlistment or reenlistment period.
Filing this addendum alongside related Army training and certificate forms and Army enlistment bonus addendum forms creates a complete record of the service member's benefits package. The SLRP bridges military career aspirations with educational financial support, demonstrating the mutual investment between the service member and the federal government in national defense.
