Revised Teacher Loan Forgiveness Application and Forbearance Request Forms

In July 2008, Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) GEN-08-11/FP-08-09 announced the approval of revised versions of the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Application and Teacher Loan Forgiveness Forbearance Request forms for borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.

Program participants may begin using the revised forms immediately. Beginning January 1, 2009, only the revised forms may be provided to borrowers; however, prior versions of the forms may continue to be processed after that date.

Additional information and the revised forms are available in the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program section of OGSLP’s Web site, which also features a brochure outlining the program, an eligibility checklist, and a helpful list of Frequently Asked Questions.
