These forms serve as the means by
which eligible borrowers in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program and the Federal Family Education Loan Program apply for
teacher loan forgiveness and request forbearance on their loans
while performing qualifying teaching service. Borrowers apply for
loan forgiveness after they have completed five years of qualifying
teaching service at a low-income elementary school, secondary
school, or educational service agency. The Teacher Loan Forgiveness
Forbearance Request serves as the means by which a borrower who
intends to apply for teacher loan forgiveness requests forbearance
(permission to temporarily cease making payments) on the loans for
which he or she is seeking forgiveness while performing the
teaching service applicable that will qualify the borrower for loan
forgiveness.
