11  Applications for an extension of time
  For the purposes of subsection 124ZF(3) of the Act, a bonded participant must make an application to the Secretary as soon as practicable after the time that the bonded participant becomes aware that the bonded participant, or a member of the bonded participant's family, has a medical condition that prevents the bonded participant from completing their return of service obligation within the 18 year period required by paragraph 124ZF(2)(a) of the Act.
Note: Under subsection 124ZF(4) of the Act, the Secretary has discretion to grant an extension.  This would not normally extend the period by more than 2 years.
