Americorps Forbearance Form - Illinois

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

FORBEARANCE REQUEST FOR NATIONAL SERVICE FORM

Under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, borrowers serving in approved national service positions in AmeriCorps qualify for mandatory

forbearance during service (which, for FFELP loans, may be granted in increments of up to 12 months at a time). This forbearance allows borrowers to delay payments

temporarily. Members may reapply if they continue service. THIS FORM IS TO BE USED TO REQUEST THIS TYPE OF FORBEARANCE. Forbearance is

granted by the lender.

Mandatory forbearance for approved national service positions is available for the following educational loans: Federal Family Education Loans (Subsidized and

Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Supplemental Loans to Students (SLS), Consolidation Loans), William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans (Direct Subsidized and

Unsubsidized Stafford/Ford Loans, and Direct Consolidation Loans), Federally Insured Student Loans (FISL), Health Education Assistance Loans (HEAL), Health

Professions Student Loans (HPSL), Loans for Disadvantaged Students (LDS), Nursing Student Loans (NSL), and Primary Care Loans (PCL). Other

deferments/forbearance may be available for Federal Perkins Loans and loans made directly to the member by a state agency.

During the service period interest continues to accrue. Upon successful completion of the term of service the National Service Trust will pay all or a portion of the

interest that has accrued. If a member leaves service early for other than compelling personal circumstances he or she will be responsible for payment of interest. If the

interest is not paid it may be capitalized. Capitalization is a process whereby unpaid interest is added to the principal amount of the loan. This increases the outstanding

principal balance, and therefore increases interest charges over the life of the loan. If a member is past due on payments not covered by the forbearance period, the loan

holder may grant an administrative forbearance to resolve the delinquency at the time this request is processed and may capitalize all unpaid interest.

Privacy Act Statement: In compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the following information is provided. The collection of this information is authorized by the provisions of the National

and Community Service Act, as amended by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. The primary purpose of the information is to enable an AmeriCorps member to receive

forbearance on qualified student loans during a period of service. Information is for official use only, and will be provided only to identified lending institutions in order that forbearance may be

granted. Your Social Security Account Number (SSN) is solicited under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6011(b) and 6109), for use as a taxpayer identification number.

Disclosure is MANDATORY because the Internal Revenue Service has determined that the education award is taxable income in the year it is paid and because the holder of a student loan

maintains the information by the borrower’s SSN. Furnishing all other information on this form is voluntary, but failure to do so may result in a denial of a payment being made from your

account or it may delay a payment from your account or delay the granting of a forbearance request.

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including reviewing instructions, gathering and providing the information needed to

complete the form. Send comments regarding this burden or content of this instrument to: Corporation for National and Community Service, National Service Trust, 1201 New York Ave., NW,

Washington, DC 20525. The Corporation informs the potential person(s) who are to respond to this collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of

information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number on this page of the form. (See 5 C.F.R. 1320.5(b)(2)(I)).
