11
What is partial financial hardship (PFH)? Based on income and family size: borrower
must annually provide certification of family size and permission for the IRS to disclose their AGI "and other tax return information“
Occurs when the annual amount due on all of the borrower's eligible loans (as calculated under a standard 10-year repayment plan) exceeds 15% of the difference between the borrower's adjusted gross income (AGI) and 150% of the poverty guideline for the borrower's family size
![Page 12: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)
Borrower who files married/joint: both spouse's AGI are considered in determining payment amount
Borrower who files married/separate: only the borrower's AGI is considered in determining payment amount
![Page 13: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Family Size Must be self-certified annually
Includes borrower, spouse, children if receiving >50% support, and others who live with the borrower and receive >50% support during that year (includes unborn children)
Support includes money, gifts, loans, housing, food, clothes, car medical and dental care and payment of college costs
Family size defaults to one (1) if borrower does not provide required information
![Page 14: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
How Borrowers Can Request IBR
The industry has developed a Common Application for borrowers to complete. The application will collect a borrowers: Self-certification of family size Consent to receive AGI from the IRS FFELP and DL loan information at other
servicers
![Page 15: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Collecting the AGI Borrower will also need to complete
and return IRS form 4506-T authorizing the lender to request the borrower’s AGI from the IRS. The consent is valid for 60 days
If the AGI is not available from the IRS or does not reflect the borrower’s current income then the Alternative Documentation form may be submitted
![Page 16: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
IRS Form 4506-T The servicer should populate line 5 with
their name, address, and telephone number prior to sending it to the borrower
The servicer may pre-fill the remaining lines except for the borrower’s signature and date for the borrower’s wet signature is required
![Page 17: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Servicer options to submit the 4506-T form Regular mail through the USPS or fax to
a RAIVS (Return and Income Verification Services) Center
Must be submitted to the state where the borrower filed their most recent return
Normal turnaround time is 10 business days
There is no processing cost to the servicer
![Page 18: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 19: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Determining PFH Eligibility verification occurs initially and
each subsequent year
Eligibility and minimum monthly payment is re-evaluated annually
If the borrower selects IBR prior to their initial disclosure but fails to submit documentation, default to standard repayment
Borrower will remain in IBR even if they no longer meet hardship requirement
![Page 20: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Standard-Standard Payment amount calculated when the
borrower initially enters repayment based on a 10-year term, regardless of loan type
Will need to calculate this amount regardless of whether or not the borrower chooses the standard repayment plan when initially entering repayment
![Page 21: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Standard-Standard This amount is used to determine
eligibility of any payments made outside of the IBR repayment plan that count towards the 25 years (300 payments) for IBR loan forgiveness
Subject to minimum $50 monthly payment
![Page 22: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Permanent-Standard Payment amount calculated immediately
preceding entering IBR on loan balance outstanding
Based on a new 10-year term
This is the maximum payment amount the borrower will ever be required to make, unless the borrower requests to leave the IBR plan
Subject to $50 minimum monthly payment
![Page 23: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Expedited-Standard Payment amount calculated once a
borrower voluntarily elects to leave the IBR plan
Amount is calculated using the remaining term based on a standard repayment plan for the loan type Stafford and GradPLUS max of 10 years
Consolidation loans maximum of up to 30 years based on original loan balance
![Page 24: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Expedited-Standard Unlike a deferment or forbearance, the
months spent in IBR are not excluded when recalculating terms upon leaving IBR completely
When terminating repayment under IBR, the borrower MUST enter an expedited-standard repayment plan and be billed for at least one installment prior to changing repayment plans
![Page 25: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

REPAYMENT
![Page 26: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Repayment Terms
Can extend beyond 10 years regardless of the amount of the eligible debt
Will need to track minimum and maximum payment amounts over life of loan
Payment application order is different than other repayment plans- Must apply IBR payments first to interest>
then to collection costs > late charges > principal
![Page 27: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Payment Amount Calculation
15% [AGI – (150% Poverty guideline applicable to family size)] divided by 12
Calculated payment amount less than $5 = $0 payment amount due
Calculated payment amount equal to or greater than $5 and less than or equal to $10 = $10 payment amount due
![Page 28: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Payment Calculations –Multiple Loans/Holders
The borrower must contact each loan holder separately to request IBR
The loan holder must include all eligible loans held by them, unless the borrower requests otherwise
Each loan holder must include the loan amounts of all eligible loans held by other lenders in the payment calculations, then prorate based on the principal amount held by that loan holder
![Page 29: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Payment Calculations –Multiple Loans/Holders
After prorating, the loan holder would apply, if needed, the $5 and $10 payment rules to the loans held by that loan holder
The Department approved the use of NSLDS to determine the amount owed on eligible loans held by other loan holders
![Page 30: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Recalculation of Payment Amount
When a borrower chooses to leave IBR completely Their repayment period will be limited
The number of months in repayment used under IBR count against the remaining months available
Their payment amount may be higher than it was before entering IBR
![Page 31: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Zero Payments – Credit Reporting
Consumer reporting agency reporting: Cannot become delinquent for a $0 installment amount, therefore would not report as delinquent
Months in which the payment is $0 may be reported to the consumer reporting agencies as “deferred” or “current”
If you report “current” ensure that you also report a scheduled monthly payment amount of $0
![Page 32: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Paying Ahead
A $0 installment amount cannot be paid ahead
Borrower permitted to pay ahead but forgiveness may not occur until they reach the 25th year
Establish one repayment schedule with the first 12 months at the PFH payment amount and the remaining months at the permanent-standard amount
![Page 33: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

35
Interest Capitalization
Interest must be capitalized: When the borrower is no longer eligible
for PFH and converts to Permanent-Standard
When the borrower leaves IBR and
converts to Expedited-Standard
![Page 36: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Interest Capitalization
Interest may be capitalized: When administrative forbearance
granted for delinquency at repayment plan change
When guarantor denies forgiveness (lender has the option to capitalize in this case if claim not denied due to lender error)
![Page 37: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Uses Economic Hardship Deferment
Makes a payment under a PFH plan, including a payment amount of $0
Makes a payment under IBR, but outside of PFH, totaling at least the Permanent-Standard payment amount
![Page 39: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Payment Tracking
ISSUES After banking a total of 300 qualifying
months, if 25 years of repayment have passed and the borrower’s account is not yet paid in full, lender/servicer must file a claim for forgiveness
![Page 40: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Payment tracking
EXCEPTIONS If borrower chooses to leave IBR
altogether and use the expedited-standard payment amount, any payment they make under that plan must be at least the standard-standard payment amount
![Page 41: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Payment tracking
OTHER ISSUES (continued) If taking on a Rehab Loan, must
obtain from the guarantor any qualifying months already achieved prior to default and continue tracking from there
Payments collected by the original lender/servicer from July 2009, through the date of default may count toward the 25 years
![Page 42: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Payment tracking
OTHER ISSUES (continued) If borrower chooses to consolidate a
loan on which the “25-year clock” had already started, the clock will re-start on the Consolidation loan

43
Payment tracking
OTHER ISSUES (continued) Borrower cannot achieve early
forgiveness by, for example, doubling up on payments. 25 years must elapse, and the borrower must satisfy 300 qualifying payments
No forgiveness will be granted prior to July 1, 2034
![Page 44: 1 Income Based Repayment PFH Determination/ Tracking/ Forgiveness Claims Moderator: Wanda Hall Edfinancial Services Presenters: Phil Kinman MOHELA Colleen](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513d65c55034674748b4f4d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Payment tracking
OTHER ISSUES (continued) Pre-payments made prior to July 1,
2009, even if they satisfy installments due after that date, DO NOT count as qualifying payments
In the reverse, if a payment received after July 1, 2009 satisfies installments due prior to this date, these DO count as qualifying payments
