30 WHAT IS DELINQUENCY?? Delinquency Failing to make your scheduled monthly loan payments will negatively affect your credit. Late payments stay on your credit history for 7 years. Your lender, loan servicer, and school will begin contacting you via letters and phone calls, which will continue until you resolve the delinquency. KNOW WHO YOU OWE AND HOW MUCH and WHERE ARE YOU GOING???

31 WHAT IS DEFAULT??? Default If a loan remains delinquent, you will default. If you default, the entire unpaid balance and any accrued collection fees on the applicable loans will become immediately due and payable. Consequences of default may include any or all of the following: Damage to your credit rating Garnishment of your wages Legal action against you Collection charges (including attorney fees) being assessed against you Loss of deferment eligibility Loss of your professional license An increase in the interest rate on your loan Withholding of your federal and state income tax refunds Loss of eligibility for state and federal financial aid Loss of other state or federal payments

32 Can t make your payment? If you're having trouble making payments on your loans, contact your loan servicer or your school loan advisors as soon as possible to discuss options that may help you. Options include: Changing repayment plans Deferment, if you meet certain requirements (for example, if you are unable to find full-time employment, or are experiencing an economic hardship). A deferment allows you to temporarily stop making payments on your loan. Forbearance, if you don't meet the eligibility requirements for a deferment but are temporarily unable to make your loan payments. Forbearance allows you to temporarily stop making payments on your loan, temporarily make smaller payments, or extend the time for making payments. If you stop making payments and don't get a deferment or forbearance, your loan could go into default, which has serious consequences! You must be aware that a deferment or forbearance is for a limited time, and it must be renewed if eligible.

33 Deferment Criteria Types of Deferment Length of Deferment In-School Graduate Fellowship Rehabilitation Training Program Unemployment Economic Hardship Military No time limit No time limit No time limit Up to 36 months Up to 36 months No time limit

34 Forbearance Criteria Discretionary Forbearance Mandatory Forbearance For discretionary forbearances, your lender decides whether to grant forbearance or not. You can request a discretionary forbearance for the following reasons: Financial hardship Illness in a medical or dental internship or residency program & meet requirements Total owed is 20% or more of your total monthly gross income National service position which you received a national service award Teaching service that qualifies for teacher loan forgiveness Qualify for partial payment under U.S Department of Defense SLRP National Guard but not activated by governor, but not eligible for a military deferment
