Department of Education Announces Revised Total and Permanent Disability
Discharge Application<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On August 16, 2010, in DCL GEN-10-15, the US Department of Education announced
a revised Total and Permanent Disability Discharge Application. The revised version
has the same expiration date (12/31/2011) as the previous version; however, it
is distinguishable by a “Revised 7/2010” in the bottom right hand
corner of all the pages. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>This revised version must be provided to borrowers beginning November
1, 2010, but as there have been major changes to the discharge provisions, the
US Department of Education encourages the use of the new form as soon as
possible. The previous version of the form may continue to be accepted from
borrowers until January 31, 2011. The US Department of Education will reject
any applications with a receipt date after January 31, 2011 that do not include
the revised version of the form.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
