Sec.  23.31  May loan payments be postponed or waived?



    (a) Whenever health, economic, or other personal problems affect the 

borrower's ability to make scheduled payments on the loan, the Secretary 

may allow the borrower an extension of time or allow the borrower to 

make smaller payments than were previously scheduled; however, interest 

will continue to accrue at the rate specified in the promissory note 

until the loan is repaid in full. The loan must be fully repaid within 

10 years after it was made.

    (b) No waiver, full or partial, of repayment of the loan will be 

granted; except that the obligation of a borrower to repay a loan shall 

be cancelled upon the death or total and permanent disability of the 

borrower, as determined by the Secretary.

    (c) In order to make a determination under paragraph (a) or (b) of 

this section, the Secretary may require supporting medical, financial, 

or other documentation.
