Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding your education loan. Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority (MEFA)
offers Modified Payment Terms that will temporarily reduce monthly payments for borrowers who qualify.
After reviewing your option(s), if you wish to apply for the MEFA Modified Payment Term (MPT), then complete and return
this MPT application with all required documentation within 10 days to American Education Services (AES) using any
of the return methods listed below. Please don't hesitate to call us for assistance with completing the application; we are
here to help!
The MPT Application will need to include all of the following in order to be processed:
Document(s) to verify income (Section 1)
List of expenses (Section 1)
Repayment option choice - please be sure to ONLY write the name of the MPT plan you are selecting in Section 2
of the MPT application
Signature of requesting party
Completed Direct Debit Application required, if not currently enrolled
You can also enroll in Direct Debit by logging into your online account at aesSuccess.org under the Payments
and Billing section.
To qualify for an MPT, you must demonstrate financial hardship. Upon receipt of your completed MPT application, AES
will review your MPT application and determine if you qualify.
If you do not qualify, you will receive a denial letter outlining why your MPT application was denied.
If you qualify, your account will be placed on the eligible MPT plan that you have been approved for. In addition,
you will receive an approval letter and separately, you will receive a letter with information regarding your repayment
terms.
Continue to pay your current monthly installment amount on your account(s). If your account becomes past due,
your debt may be reported as delinquent to the credit reporting agencies. Your Modified Payment Term will only begin after
you have received confirmation of approval for MPT from AES. If your MPT application is approved and your account is
delinquent, an administrative forbearance will be applied to bring your account current.

MPT Overview
How the Modified Payment Term Affects your Loan
MPT is a great option for borrowers experiencing financial hardship, but there are some important factors to consider
before applying. Please review the information below to make an informed decision regarding your student loan(s).
When a loan is re-amortized, the fixed monthly payment is recalculated to ensure the loan will be repaid within the
remaining loan term.
This chart depicts a $20,000 student loan with 10 years of repayment term at a 6% fixed interest rate. The estimated
monthly payments were calculated assuming the 6 month M2, 6 month M5, 12 month M3, or 24 month M4 plan was utilized.
Please note how each MPT option affects the payment amount after the MPT has been utilized.
