NATIONAL SERVICE TRUST – MANUAL INTEREST PAYMENT REQUEST FORM

Upon successfully completing a term of service and earning an education award, the National Service Trust will pay, on behalf of the borrower, all or a portion of the interest that accrued on a qualified student loan* during the member’s term of national service. The loan must have been in forbearance, deferment, grace period, or in-school status during this period. This form requests the loan holder to provide the interest amount and send the form to the Trust for payment. Payment will be made only to the loan holder. This payment, like payments from a member’s education award, is considered taxable income in the year the payment is made.

Privacy Act Statement: In compliance with the privacy Act of 1974, the following information is provided: The collection of this information is authorized by the provisions of the National and Community Service Act, as amended

by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. The primary purpose of the information is to enable an AmeriCorps member to have a payment made for all or a portion of the interest that accrued while the member was serving in an AmeriCorps project. The form asks the member’s loan holder to inform the Trust of the amount of interest that accrued in order for a payment to be made. Information is for official use only. Your Social Security Number (SSN) is solicited under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6011(b) and 6109), for use as a taxpayer identification number; disclosure is MANDATORY because the Internal Revenue Service has determined that the education award is taxable income in the year it is paid. Furnishing all other information on this form is voluntary, but failure to do so may result in a denial of your interest being paid or it may delay the payment.
