14 Successful Repayment Repayment plans Manageable payments Forgiveness and cancellation Money management Debt management strategies 14
15 Successful Repayment When does repayment begin? Stafford/Direct loans offer a 6 month grace period after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment Interest will not be charged on subsidized Stafford/Direct loans during the grace period for loans disbursed prior to July 1, 2012 Interest will accumulate on unsubsidized Stafford/Direct loans during the grace period Grad/Professional PLUS loans do not offer a grace period 15
16 Repayment Plans Four Repayment Plan Types Standard Graduated Extended Income Based 16
17 Repayment Plans Standard Repayment Standard repayment Most common option, also default option Payments of equal, monthly installments Repayment period cannot exceed 10 years Minimum payment of $50, usually much more Advantages and disadvantages Well-suited for borrowers with balances less than $10,000 or with higher balances and higher income Monthly payments may be too high for some borrowers, although deferment/forbearance options may alleviate problem 17
18 Repayment Plans Graduated Repayment Graduated repayment. Tiered plan in which monthly payment amount changes during repayment term, increasing gradually Most are three- or four-tiered Repayment term cannot exceed 10 years Monthly payment amount must cover accruing interest, and no single payment can be more than three times amount of another Advantages and disadvantages Combines low initial payments and predictable structures Interest cost will be more than standard repayment Lower payments result in higher interest costs 18
19 Repayment Plans Extended Repayment Extended repayment Up to a 25-year repayment term for eligible borrowers Available if you have more than $30,000 in student loan debt Length of repayment is tied to the amount borrowed Advantages and disadvantages Provides a lower monthly payment for the entire repayment term Borrower must meet certain criteria Longer repayment term typically results is higher overall interest costs Most useful to borrowers who need long-term relief 19
20 Repayment Plans Income Based Repayment There are a few options in this area Discuss these options with your servicer 20
21 Repayment Example Compare the various plans listed below, noting the difference in the total interest of each Visit to review the loan repayment calculators Example: $15,000 at 6.8% fixed rate with $0 fees Repayment Option Estimated Monthly Payment Total Interest Total Principal and Interest Standard $173 $5,715 $20,715 Graduated (15 years) $86 to $239 $11,263 $26,263 Income-sensitive* $83 to $186 $6,125 $21,125 Source: loan repayment calculators. * Income-sensitive repayment based on one year exception at $25,000 annual salary. 21
22 Manageable Payments Deferments Payments postponed under certain conditions Enrolled at least ½ time Military Service Others Interest subsidy applies Length of time varies by type of deferment Application required (not automatic) 22
23 Manageable Payments Forbearance Temporarily postpone or reduce payments Extends the repayment period Typically granted for a period up to 12 months, at the discretion of the lender or servicer Interest subsidy is not available Any unpaid interest that accrues will be capitalized, increasing the total balance due 23
24 Manageable Payments Consolidation May reduce monthly payments rarely May reduce interest rates Only certain qualifying federal loans can be included Not right for everyone Discuss with servicer Advantages Combines several loans into one new loan One lower monthly payment Interest rate may be lower Interest subsidy still applies, but only to Stafford/Direct No fees or prepayment penalties Disadvantages Increases interest charges due to longer repayment period Reduced options for cancellation and forgiveness Interest rate may be higher May lose benefits. Lose remainder of grace period 24
25 Student Loan Forgiveness and Cancellation Special repayment and forgiveness options for some borrowers Military benefits National and community service jobs Child care providers Teacher loan forgiveness 25
26 Consequences of Breaking Your Promise Delinquency means the lender has not received payment by the stated due date. Late charges and fines may be assessed Negative mark on your credit record 26
27 Consequences of Breaking Your Promise Default means no loan payments for 270 consecutive days or more. Lose eligibility for future federal financial aid Lose eligibility for flexible loan repayment options Bad credit State-issued licenses can be withdrawn Income tax refunds can be withheld Wages can be garnished Interest continues to accumulate Ongoing collection activities including fees and fines Legal action 27
28 Student Loan Forgiveness and Cancellation Full cancellation Death of borrower School closure False certification by school Identity theft Full or partial discharge Total and permanent disability Some limited bankruptcy scenarios 28
