What Every Social Security Disability Recipient Needs To Know About Discharging Your Federal Student Loans As A Result Of Total And Permanent Disability

social security disability student loan discharge

Federal Student Loans, including FFEL, Direct Loans and Perkins Loans are eligible for forgiveness if the student loan debtor is found to be “totally and permanently disabled” (TPD).

The Department of Education is required to accept a Social Security Administration Notice of Award for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits as proof as a borrower’s total permanent disability, if the Notice indicates that SSA will review the borrower’s continuing eligilbity for benefits once for every five (5) to seven (7) years.

However, if your Notice of Award indicates a disability review less than five (5) to seven (7) years, you can still qualify for a discharge of your Federal Student Loans if your physician will certify your disability. Information about applying for total permanent disability discharge can be found at disabilitydischarge.com.

The good news is that you can authorize representatives, like Student Loan and Social Security Disability attorney Nancy Cavey, to handle your TPD application, deal with any request for information or denials and help you with post discharge monitoring requirements.
