Abstract: The HEAL form 504 is required for lenders to make applications 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. The HEAL form 508 is required for HEAL borrowers to request deferment of payment of their loan under specific conditions. This collection is removing the datasets previously included in this collection due to the decrease in the number of users.

Short Statement: The Department is requesting a revision of the currently approved information collection for HEAL forms 504 and 508. We are decreasing the total number of respondents to 21 from 69 (-48), responses to 21 from 69 (-48) and burden hours to 4 from 11 (-7). These changes are due to a decrease in HEAL servicer participation and the reduced number of borrowers who were in a deferred status at the end of FY20.
