Abstract: The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) forms are required for lenders to make application to the HEAL insurance program, to report accurately and timely on loan actions, including transfer of loans to a secondary agent, and to establish the repayment status of borrowers who qualify for deferment of payments using form 508. The reports assist in the diligent administration of the HEAL program, protecting the financial interest of the federal government.

Short Statement: ED is requesting a revision to the currently approved information collection for HEAL forms 504 and 508 as well as the data sets, Borrower Loan Status Updates and Loan Purchases and Consolidation. ED is increasing the number of hours by one hour to a total of 24, the number of respondents by 23 and the number of responses by 16. These slight program changes are due to the continued use of the deferment form by eligible borrowers and the continued use of the required reporting mechanisms by HEAL loan holders.
