Abstract: The Guaranty Agency Financial Report (GAFR), ED Form 2000, is used by the thirty-one (31) guaranty agencies under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, authorized by Title IV, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Guaranty agencies use the Guaranty Agency Financial Report to: (1) Request reinsurance from the Department of Education; (2) request payment on death, disability, closed school, and false certification claims paid to lenders; (3) remit refunds to the Department for rehabilitated loans and consolidation loans; (4) remit to the Department default and wage garnishment collections. The Department of Education also uses report data to monitor the guaranty agency’s financial activities (agency federal fund and agency operating fund) and each agency’s federal receivable balance.

Abstract: The Military Service/PostActive Duty Student Deferment request form serves as the means by which a Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), Perkins, or Direct Loan borrower requests a military service deferment and/or post-active duty student deferment and provides his or her loan holder with the information needed to determine whether the borrower meets the applicable deferment eligibility requirements. The form also serves as the means by which the U.S. Department of Education identifies Direct Loan borrowers who qualify for the Direct Loan Program’s no accrual of interest benefit for active duty service members.
