Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				  Participants have the obligation to complete full-time continuous service for
				  the period of their commitment. Under unusual circumstances as described in
				  subsection B of this section, a participant may request that the board agree to
				  a deferment of the service obligation. This deferment, if granted, shall not
				  relieve the participant of the responsibility to complete the remaining portion
				  of the obligation. Such deferment shall not be permitted as a matter of course,
				  but may be allowed in the most compelling cases.
B. Individual cases may be considered by the
				  board for a variance of payment or service, pursuant to § 32.1-12 of the
				  Code of Virginia, if it finds compliance with the applicable service
				  requirements or default repayment would pose an undue hardship on the
				  participant.
C. If the participant
				  is in default due to death or disability so as not to be able to engage in
				  medical practice in an HPSA, a VMUA, an approved geriatrics fellowship, or a
				  state or local institution in the Commonwealth, the participant or his personal
				  representative may be relieved of his obligation under the contract to engage
				  in medical practice, upon repayment to the Commonwealth of the total amount of
				  loan repayment received plus interest and penalty as stated in the contract.
				  For participants completing part of the required service obligation prior to
				  becoming permanently disabled or in the event of death, the total amount of
				  loan repayment funds owed shall be reduced by the proportion of obligated years
				  served. The obligation to make restitution may be waived by the board upon
				  application of the participant or the participant's representative to the
				  board.
D. All requests for
				  deferments, waivers, or variances must be submitted in writing to the
				  department for consideration and final disposition by the board.
