Total and Permanent Disability Discharge
More Resources
The federal student aid programs provide for discharge of certain types of federal student loans and/or TEACH grant service obligations if an otherwise eligible individual is determined to be totally and permanently disabled. A discharge is a release of a borrower's obligation to repay a federal student loan, either in whole or in part, or of a grant recipient's obligation to provide services on which his or her grant was conditioned.
You may be eligible for a total and permanent disability discharge if you:
- Have become unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death, has lasted for a continuous period of at least 60 months, or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 60 months, or
- Have been determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to be unemployable due to a service-connected condition.
