Abstract: Institutions participating in the Federal Perkins Loan program use the assignment form to assign loans to the Department for collection without recompense, transferring the authority to collect on the loan. This request is for continuing approval off the paper based assignment form and for approval of the electronic process being finalized. The same information is being requested in both processing methods. The electronic process will allow for batch processing as well as individual processing.
