[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 45, Volume 4] [Revised as of October 1, 2002] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 45CFR1213.7-1] [Page 51] TITLE 45--PUBLIC WELFARE CHAPTER XII--CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PART 1213--ACTION COOPERATIVE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM--Table of Contents Subpart G--Miscellaneous Sec. 1213.7-1 Student loan deferrals. (a) The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, exempts full-time domestic volunteers from repayment of National Defense Education Act loans for a period of service not to exceed three years. Volunteers wishing to defer repayment of NDEA loans must obtain the necessary forms from their universities. Regional Offices are authorized to certify these forms, but if the university or volunteer should submit the form to Headquarters for certification, it will be sent to the appropriate Regional Office for completion. (b) If the volunteer is still in service at the time of ACTION's certification, his anticipated termination date will be furnished to the lender. (c) Repayment of other college loans may also be deferred. These repayments, however, are deferred at the discretion of the lender. If the lender is willing to defer payment, volunteers must obtain the necessary forms from the lender and forward them to the Regional Office for certification. If forms are not available from the lender, a letter to the university or lender may be prepared certifying the dates of the volunteer's service.
