Abstract: The forms certifies that the HEAL borrower meets the total and permanent disability requirements for cancellation of the obligation to repay HEAL student loans. The information collected on the certification and disability form is essential for proper administration of the HEAL program. Section 525 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 transferred the collection of the Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) program loans from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the US Department of Education (ED). To fulfill this mandate, ED requested and received the transfer of the currently approved forms to a new collection under Federal Student Aid OMB Control Number prefix 1845. The changes to the approved forms will be to identify ED as the agency owner of the HEAL loans, identify new contact information, and minor spelling corrections.
