3 Federal Educational Loan Programs Loans for Undergrads Federal Direct Subsidized Interest rates have ranged from 6.8% down to 3.4% Federal Direct Unsubsidized Interest rates fixed at 6.8% (new interest rate structure in place for new loans borrowed on or after 7/1/13) Federal Perkins Interest rate fixed at 5.0% Loans for SU Law Students Federal Direct Unsubsidized Interest rate fixed at 6.8% (loans borrowed between 7/1/06 and 6/30/13) Or, fixed at 5.41% (loans borrowed between 7/1/13 and 6/30/14) Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Interest rate fixed at 7.9% (loans borrowed between 7/1/06 and 6/30/13) Or, fixed at 6.41% (loans borrowed between 7/1/13 and 6/30/14)

4 Who You Will Repay Know What You Owe Log on with Federal PIN Log onto NSLDS for a summary of the federal student loans you have borrowed It is likely that your loans will be serviced by one of the primary Dept. of Education loan servicers: Fed Loan Servicing (PHEAA) Great Lakes Educational Loan Services Nelnet Sallie Mae

5 Repayment Plan Options Repayment Plans 10 Year (Standard) 25 Year (Extended) Up to 30 Years (Consolidation) Under these plans, you pay a fixed amount each month The shorter the repayment period, the less amount of interest will be paid There is no penalty for pre-payment You will be placed in the 10 year plan automatically, but may choose a different plan Log onto to use the Repayment Estimator to compare plans

6 Income Driven Repayment Plan Options Income Driven Repayment Plans Income Based Repayment (IBR) Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Could be a good option if you have relatively high debt and relatively low income Amount due is recalculated annually, based on your household s discretionary income Be aware that the monthly amount paid may be less than the amount of interest that accrues

7 Income Driven Repayment Plans IBR All Federal student loans are eligible FFEL and DL (except Parent PLUS loans) Payment based on 15% of discretionary income Loan forgiveness after 25 years of qualifying payments PAYE Only Federal DIRECT (DL) student loans are eligible (except Parent PLUS loans) You must be a new borrower as of 10/1/07 & you must have received a disbursement on or after 10/1/11 Payment based on 10% of discretionary income Loan forgiveness after 20 years of qualifying payments

8 Income Driven Repayment (IBR & PAYE) Advantages Keeps monthly student loan payments affordable Usually has lowest monthly payment Loan forgiveness after 20 or 25 years of qualifying payments 10 year public service loan forgiveness Disadvantages You may pay more interest You must submit annual documentation Married couples may need to file tax returns with IRS separately You may have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven after 20 or 25 years

9 Sample Law School Loan Balance When Entering Repayment= $129,000 $61,500 Unsubsidized, $67,500 Grad PLUS Interest paid while in-school Projected Monthly Payment Projected # of Payments Projected Total Amt Paid Standard 10 Year Extended 25 Year Consolidation 30 Year IBR (household size = 1, hh AGI = $50,000) PAYE (household size = 1, hh AGI = $50,000) $1, $178,975 $ $273,524 $ $308,966 $ ??? $ ???

10 When Does Repayment Begin? Six Month Grace Period No Grace Period Federal Loans borrowed while at SU Law Federal loans that were in repayment prior to law school Federal Loans that were not in repayment before law school Federal Consolidation Loans Borrowers can repay while in-school or Six Month Grace Period: Law school loans Prior loans if they never entered into a prior repayment status No additional grace period if the 6-month grace has already been used

11 Deferment & Forbearance Deferment Most are not automatic submit request to your servicer Some limitations on length of time Forbearance Mandatory (if you meet eligibility, it will be granted) Discretionary (up to your lender or servicer) Deferments & Forbearances may temporarily lower or postpone monthly payments Deferment Examples: in-school, active duty military, economic hardship, unemployment Forbearance Examples: loan debt burden & AmeriCorps (mandatory); illness & financial hardship (discretionary) You must apply through your servicer

12 Federal Direct Consolidation Do you have multiple servicers? Loan Do you have both FFEL and DL? Do you want a 30 year term? Federal Direct Consolidation combines multiple federal student loans into one new loan with a fixed interest rate Not available for private student loans. Convenient to make a single payment to one servicer Must have DL (not FFEL) to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness No penalty for early payment of consolidation loan

13 Public Service Loan Forgiveness PSLF Qualifying Loans: DL Qualifying Payments: PAYE or IBR Qualifying Employment: Public Service Federal Direct Loans (including consolidation loans) may be forgiven Must make120 payments in a qualifying repayment plan (IBR, PAYE, ICR, Standard 10 year) Available to employees who work full-time with a government agency, not-for-profit, or public interest law (including prosecution or public defense or legal advocacy in low-income communities), for example
