The Military Service/Post-Active Duty
Student Deferment request form serves as the means by which a
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), Perkins, or Direct Loan
borrower requests a military service deferment and/or post-active
duty student deferment and provides his or her loan holder with the
information needed to determine whether the borrower meets the
applicable deferment eligibility requirements. The form also serves
as the means by which the U.S. Department of Education identifies
Direct Loan borrowers who qualify for the Direct Loan Program's no
accrual of interest benefit for active duty service
members.
