SECTION 3: BORROWER REQUESTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND AUTHORIZATION

Irequest:

To defer repayment of my loans for the period during which I have an economic hardship, as described in Section 2.

That my deferment begin on:

If checked, to make interest

payments on my

loans during my deferment.

I understand that:

I am not required to make payments of loan principal or interest during my deferment.

My deferment will begin on the later of the date I became eligible or the date that I requested.

My deferment will end on the earlier of the date that I exhaust my maximum eligibility, the certified deferment end date, or when I am no longer eligible for the deferment for another reason.

If I am a Perkins Loan borrower, I will receive a 6-month post-deferment grace period beginning on the date I no longer qualify for the deferment.

Unless I am a Peace Corps volunteer, my deferment will be granted in increments of 1 year. If I continue to be eligible for an Economic Hardship Deferment after 1 year, I may reapply, subject to the cumulative maximum.

My loan holder may grant me a forbearance while processing my form or to cover any period of delinquency that exists when I submit my form.

Unpaid interest may capitalize on my loans during or at the expiration of my deferment or forbearance, but interest never capitalizes on Perkins Loans.

I certify that:

The information I have provided on this form is true and correct.

I will provide additional documentation to my loan holder, as required, to support my deferment eligibility.

I will notify my loan holder immediately when my eligibility for the deferment ends.

I have read, understand, and meet the eligibility requirements in Section 2.

I authorize the entity to which I submit this request and its agents to contact me regarding my request or my loans at any cellular telephone number that I provide now or in the future using automated telephone dialing equipment or artificial or prerecorded voice or text messages.
