I'm part of the teacher loan program and I wanted to know if I can receive loan forgiveness or not.


Of course. You can potentially receive forgiveness under both the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, but not for the same period of teaching service.


Well, what if I complete five years of qualifying teaching and then I get forgiveness of my Direct Loans?


If you complete five consecutive years of qualifying teaching and receive forgiveness of your Direct Loans under the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program, any payments you made on your Direct Loans during that five-year period can not be counted toward the required 120 monthly payments for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.


Alright, that makes sense. And what if I'm applying for forgiveness of loans from different loan servicers?


In that case you must submit a separate form to each of them.


But I can receive forgiveness, right? I mean, if I'm under the teacher loan forgiveness program.


Yes, you can potentially receive forgiveness under both the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, but not for the same period of teaching service.


What do I need to do to receive public service loan forgiveness then?


You would need to make 120 more qualifying monthly payments.


That's a lot, but it's fair enough. Can you tell me more about the teacher loan forgiveness and the benefits of the AmeriCorps program, please?


Are you an AmeriCorps Program volunteer?


Yes, I am.


Then a period of teaching that qualifies you for a benefit through the AmeriCorps Program can not be counted toward the required five consecutive years of teaching for the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program.

I can definitely assist you with this. Your parents do have a section that they need to fill out on the form.


Ok, thanks. What will they need to fill out on it?


Also, I need to know if I have to have both parents fill it out. My parents are divorced and I live with my dad and won't see my mom in person until the summer.


They can be listed as divorced on the form. You should have your father fill out information on the form since you live with him the majority of the time.


Oh, that could be a problem. I don't think my dad wants to put any of his information on the form. I tried to tell him it was for college but he worries about having his private information in the hands of a stranger and he won't fill out my form. What do I do?


You can go to the myStudentAid app and there will be an option under a list of special circumstances to check if your parents refuses to provide the information needed.


My friend is also filling out a form and wants to know what to do if their parents were never married, if that makes any difference.

You said there were special circumstances to not filling out the parent part. What are they?


If your parents are incarcerated, you have left the house due to abuse, you don't know where your parents are and you cannot contact them even though you are not adopted, or if you are between 21 and 24 and not living with family but homeless or at risk of homelessness, those are the special circumstances.


Wow, those sound rough, but none of those apply to me. Thank you for helping me, I think I can fill out my form now!


Hey, can you tell me how I can see my medical records online?


Of course. Our online tools can help you view, organize, and share your VA medical records and personal health information. First you should find out if you're eligible and how to sign in to start using these tools.

Yes, I am.


In that case, you can use all the features of this tool.

In that case you can opt back in to sharing your information at any time.


Hello there. How are you doing? I am looking for information about what happens after I submitted my application.


Of course. We can help you find out what happens after you apply for a pre-need eligibility determination.

Of course. You can apply to find out in advance if you can be buried in a VA national cemetery. This is called a pre-need determination of eligibility and it can help make the burial planning process easier for your family members in their time of need.


Alright. And who is eligible for such a burial?


A Veteran who didn't receive a dishonorable discharge when you separated from the military, or the spouse or dependent child of a service member or Veteran, even if the service member or Veteran has already passed away.


But if I had fallen in battle, my wife wouldn't have had to apply for my burial?


Correct. If a service member dies on active duty, they're eligible for burial without a pre-need decision letter.


Do you perhaps have number I could call? I find it a bit difficult to write all this.


Could you help me understand how to repay my federal student loan without going into default?


First you should understand your loan agreement, make sure you know all loan info, and make sure to get ahold of your loan servicer when you might have trouble making your payment.


Have you missed a payment or made a payment late?


Yes, I have missed a payment.


Then you would be considered delinquent and late fees probably will be added to what is due; but there is a chance that you could avoid default by contacting your loan servicer.


Is there an easy way to track my loans online?


Yes, you can find out about all your federal student loans from the US Department of Education by signing in to "My Federal Student Aid".


What are the most important steps to avoid default of student loans?


Always try to avoid default first of all and take the time to comprehend your loan agreements and what are the exact loan types you are getting; and never borrow more money than you need or more than you expect to pay back.


What should I do if my federal student loan is delinquent?


You should look into the Student Loan Debt Collection Assistant, which the US Department of Education developed along with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it has tools that will give you access to special repayment options.


What is my promissory note?


A promissory note is your legal binding document and is important to read because when you sign it you are agreeing to paying the full amount back.


I'd like to know which steps to do next.


Consider this: even if you do not qualify for benefits on someone else's record, some of your family members may qualify for benefits on your record.


Are you married?


No, I've never been married and I don't have any children.

Yes, you may. If you are divorced, you may still be able to get benefits on your ex - spouse's record.


Will something happen if I don't get my income and family size recertified by the annual deadline?


It is really important to recertify before the annual deadline.


Do you need to know what happens if you don't recertify your income before the deadline?


Yes, I would like to know the answer about recertifying my income.


The things that will happen vary depending on the plan you have.


What happens if my family size is not recertified?


The same repayment plan would be enforced if you do not recertify your family size.


What if I have an income that is not taxed or do not have an income at all?


You would have to mark it the online application or paper application and you are not required to supply further documentation.


Are their other repayment options if I do not want an income-driven repayment plan?

Hello, I'm a student whose parents were Killed in Iraq, I want to know if I can get "aid", and if so: what do I have to do?


Did your parents die as result of military service in Iraq?


No, they weren't performing military service.


I mean, after that... I don't have the resources to pay college, since I'm homeless... but I really want to go to college. Is there a way I can go to college?


Yes, there's a way. We currently have a plan to prevent homeless to not attending college. The program is called: "Identifying and Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness from Pre - School to Post - Secondary Ages" I'll send you the link so that you can read more about it.


But I'm not a U.S citizen, I just have a permanent resident alien.

But, how would I know if I'm eligible?


Most U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens are eligible for financial aid for college or career school, you have to understand the criteria the program uses for "staying eligible" as noncitizen, I'll share you a document with all the information.

That's correct. Only those with work permit from DHS can apply.


Thanks. Look, i don't have this condition, but i wanted to know what i would need to show in case i need a social security number with tax purposes?


Sure, i can give you that information. If you have that case, you can apply for an individual Taxpayer identification number from the U.S IRS. You need to call the IRS toll free number to get more info.
