SECTION 2: HOUSEHOLD INCOMEAND REASONABLE AND NECESSARY MONTHLY EXPENSES


You received this form because you asked to rehabilitate your defaulted loans but objected to the payment amount your
loan holder calculated using the 15% formula (see Section 6). After receiving this form, your loan holder will offer an
alternative payment amount. The alternative amount may be less or more than the amount calculated using the 15%
formula. To begin rehabilitating your defaulted loans, you must choose between the two amounts. To rehabilitate, you must
make 9 on-time payments of that amount over a period of 10 consecutive months.
Provide the monthly income and expense information listed below. Include documentation of these sources of income or
expenses if your loan holder asks you to. Include your spouse's income only if your spouse contributes to your household
income. Your loan holder has the authority to determine if the claimed amount of any expense is reasonable and necessary.
Before entering your monthly income and expenses, carefully read the entire form, including Sections 5, 6, and 7.

SECTION 4: UNDERSTANDINGS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND AUTHORIZATION
I understand that:
1. I have received this form because I requested the opportunity to rehabilitate my defaulted loans and objected to the
reasonable and affordable monthly payment amount calculated using the 15% formula.
2. My loan holder will calculate an alternative reasonable and affordable monthly payment amount that will be based
solely on the information I provide on this form and, if requested, supporting documentation.
3. If I do not accept either the 15% formula payment amount or the payment amount determined by my loan holder
based on information from this form, the loan rehabilitation process will not proceed and I will be required to repay my
defaulted loans in accordance with the terms of the loan and applicable law.
4. If I do not provide any supporting documentation requested by my loan holder by the deadline specified by my
loan holder, my request for loan rehabilitation will not be considered.
5. If I want to rehabilitate a defaulted Direct Consolidation Loan or Federal Consolidation Loan that was made jointly to
me and my spouse and am requesting an alternative payment amount, my spouse and I must each sign below.
6. If I rehabilitate a loan and default on the same loan again in the future, I may not rehabilitate that loan a second time.
7. I must notify my loan holder immediately if my address changes.
8. If my loan is rehabilitated, my loan will be sold or transferred to a new loan holder or loan servicer. After the sale or
transfer, I will be asked to select a repayment plan. If I do not select a repayment plan, my loans will be placed on
the standard repayment plan, which will likely require me to make a much higher monthly payment amount than
the payment I made to rehabilitate my loan.
9. After my loan is rehabilitated, I may be eligible to repay my loans under an income-driven repayment plan that bases
my payment on my income and family size. An income-driven repayment plan is the type of repayment plan most
likely to have a monthly payment similar to the payment I made to rehabilitate my loans.
10. I can learn more about the eligibility requirements and application process for income-driven repayment plans
by visiting StudentAid.gov/IDR or by asking my loan holder.

I certify that (1) the information that I have provided on this form is true and correct and (2) upon request, I will provide
additional documentation to my loan holder to support the information I have provided in this form.
I authorize the loan holder to which I submit this request (and its agents or contractors) to contact me regarding my
request or my loans, including the repayment of my loans, at any number that I provide on this form or any future number
that I provide for my cellular telephone or other wireless device using automated dialing equipment or artificial or
prerecorded voice or text messages.
