Refer to promissory note or credit report Focus today will be on Direct (unsubsidized and subsidized) and Grad PLUS loans During the grace period What happens to my loans when I leave school? A FFEL or Direct loan will either: Enter a 6 month grace period, or In some cases, enter repayment A Perkins loan willeither: Enter a 9 month grace period, or In some cases, enter a 6 month post deferment grace period During the grace period What happens to my loans when I leave school? A Grad PLUS loan will either: Enter a 6 month deferment (for Direct PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2008) or In some cases, enter repayment py A federal Consolidation loan will enter repayment For a private education loan, contact the lender 2
3 During the grace period What should I expect from my loan holder/servicer? Repayment disclosure notices Outlines the terms of the loans borrowed Provides the repayment options available Establishesthefirst the payment due date During the grace period What does my loan holder/servicer expect from me? To select a repayment plan To provide updated contact information whenever it changes To contact the loan holder whenever you are having difficulty managing repayment During the grace period Can I prepay on a loan? Yes If sending in a prepayment, make sure you inform the lender to apply the prepayment to the principal of the loan balance There isno prepayment penalty 3

6 Repayment plans overview Standard 120 equal monthly payments/10 years Least expensive way to repay a student loan Graduated Payments increase over time Maximum 10 year repayment term Repayment plans overview Extended For borrowers with over $30,000 in debt Up to 25 years to repay loan Income sensitive (FFEL only) Based on expected gross monthly income Adjusted annually Repayment plans overview Income driven repayment plans with a forgiveness component Income based (IBR) Income contingent (ICR) Pay As You Earn (PAYE) 6
7 Borrower eligibility Criteria IBR Pay As You Earn ICR Who qualifies FFELP and Direct Loan borrowers who have a partial financial hardship Direct Loan New borrowers who have a partial financial hardship Direct Loan borrowers Borrower eligibility For purposes of PAYE, you are a new borrower if you: Had no outstanding balance on a Direct or FFELP loan as of 10/1/2007 (or had no outstanding balance on a Direct or FFELP loan when you obtained a new loan on/after 10/1/2007) AND Received a disbursement of a Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Stafford, or Grad PLUS loan on or after 10/1/2011 (or received a Direct Consolidation Loan based on an application received on/after 10/1/2011) The repayment estimator will help you determine if you meet this eligibility requirement. Partial financial hardship IBR and PAYE both have a partial financial hardship requirement: Your annual payment amount using the standard 10 year repayment plan / 12 15% (for IBR) or 10% (for PAYE) of your (Adjusted Gross Income 150% of poverty guideline amount) / 12 Based on income and family size 7
8 Partial financial hardship What does PFH mean in plain English? You have a large amount of federal student loan debt compared to your income and the expenses that go along with supporting you and your family. The repayment estimator will help you determine if you have a PFH. IBR and PAYE payment amounts IBR payment amount: Capped at 15% of discretionary income PAYE payment amount: Capped at 10% of discretionary income What is discretionary income? Your income minus the poverty guideline for your family size. The repayment estimator will calculate this for you. ICR eligibility criteria ICR has no partial financial hardship requirement: Under ICR, your monthly payment is the lesser of: 20% of discretionary income OR 12 year standard repayment schedule multiplied by income percentage factor 8
9 Interest subsidies Temporary interest subsidy with IBR and PAYE only: Provided when your monthly payment does not cover accruing interest on subsidized loans Limited to first three consecutive years of repayment You must pay all interest on unsubsidized loans Interest capitalization Interest capitalizes: Under IBR when you: No longer have a partial financial hardship, or Leave IBR entirely Under PAYE when you: No longer have a partial financial hardship, or Leave PAYE entirely BUT Interest capitalizes only until principal balance is 10% greater than original principal amount when you entered plan Interest capitalization Interest capitalizes Under ICR: Annually when your payments do not cover accrued interest BUT Interest capitalizes only until principal balance is 10% greater than original principal when you entered repayment 9
10 How do the income-driven repayment plans work? Repayment can extend beyond 10 years regardless of your amount of loan debt Forgiveness after 25 years for ICR and IBR, 20 years for PAYE Payment amount can increase or decrease every year depending di on changes in income and/or family size You can stay in IBR or PAYE even if you no longer have a PFH Under current law, forgiven amount would be counted as taxable income Income driven plans example Example: If you are: Single with no dependents Live in one of the lower 48 states Have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $35,000, and Have $50,000 in Direct Loan debt ($23,000 of which is subsidized), all of which has a 6.8% interest rate *Assumes a 5% increase in income each year and a 3% annual increase in the poverty guidelines.

11 Income driven plans example: With forgiveness With PSLF (forgiveness after 10 years): ICR IBR Pay As You Earn Time in 10 years 10 years 10 years Repayment Total Paid $55, $37, $24, PSLF Amount $19, $45, $57, Source: Department of Education; 2012 FSA Conference Income-driven plans application process You may apply by completing either: Electronic IBR/Pay As You Earn/ICR application on studentloans.gov website (recommended) OR Paper application available from the loan holder The basics of consolidation 11
12 Consolidation overview Consolidation enables you to bundle one or more federal student loans into a single new loan The consolidating loan holder pays off the outstanding balances of the loans included in the consolidation Same repayment plan options (except ISR) No fees Consolidation eligibility Who can consolidate? Any federal student loan borrower, including: Borrowers with student loans Borrowers with student and parent loans Consolidation eligibility How do I qualify? You must be in your grace period or in repayment on each loan being consolidated You can still obtain a Consolidation loan if you are delinquent or in default on one or more of your existing loans 12
13 Consolidation eligibility What loans may be consolidated? Federal Family Education Loans Federal Direct Loans FederalPerkins Loans Health Professions Student Loans Nursing Student Loans Health Education Assistance Loans Consolidation eligibility What loans may not be consolidated? Private or state education loans Other consumer debt Private consolidation loans Don t offer the same advantages (i.e., repayment options, deferments, etc) as a federal consolidation loan Interest rate will be credit based and likely higher than a federal consolidation loan Consolidation eligibility Can I ever reconsolidate? Generally, no Exceptions for: Consolidating an existing Consolidation loan with another loan outside the Consolidation loan, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness 13
14 Consolidation interest rate How is the interest rate calculated? It is the weighted average of interest rates on loans being consolidated, rounded up to nearest 1/8 of a percent, capped at 8.25% Factors to consider Convenience of one payment by bringing together loans with multiple loan holders *May* be able to lock in a more favorable interest rate if you have older loans with a variable interest rate Lower loan payments by lengthening repayment period Maximum repayment periods for Consolidation loans Sum of Consolidation loan balance plus balances of other education loans Maximum repayment period Less than $7, years $7,500 or more, but less than $10, years $10,000 or more, but less than $20, years $20,000 or more, but less than $40, years $40,000 or more, but less than $60, years $60,000 or more 30 years 14
15 Factors to consider May lose some or all of grace period May lose certain borrower benefits Federal Perkins Loans lose their deferment subsidy andcancellation eligibility when consolidated May increase total cost of loan: If you lengthen your repayment period, you will pay more interest in the long run Total loan costs based on repayment length A $35,000 Consolidation 6.0% interest rate Repaid over Monthly payment Total amount paid Total interest paid 10 years $ $46, $11, years $ $53, $18, years $ $60, $25, Total loan costs based on repayment length A $100,000 Consolidation 6.0% interest rate Repaid over Monthly payment Total amount paid Total interest paid 10 years $1, $133, $33, years $ $151, $51, years $ $171, $71, years $ $215, $115,
