Student Loan Discharge For Disability

If you have a disability and are unable to work, your student loan payments may be discharged.

To qualify for this type of discharge, borrowers must submit documentation from either the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or Social Security Administration (SSA).

To qualify for a Total and Permanent Disability Discharge, you must be permanently disabled and unable to work at any job that allows you to earn an income. Your disability must be severe enough that it prevents you from working in any capacity.

The U.S. Department of Education defines “permanent” as being expected to last indefinitely or for at least 60 months (five years), while “total” means the borrower cannot engage in gainful employment due to the condition of their disability.

You can’t receive TPD discharge if your disability is:

• temporary
• self-imposed (for example, alcoholism)

You may also qualify if you have been on Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for 24 months or if you receive Veterans Administration (VA) compensation due to your disability.

You can apply for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if you have been unable or your ability to work is limited by a physical or mental impairment that has lasted, or will last, at least 12 months.

You must be approved for SSDI/SSI before you automatically qualify for student loan discharge due to disability. If your application is denied and you appeal the decision, it may still take up to three years until your claim is reviewed by an administrative law judge (ALJ). If the ALJ rules in your favor then they will send a copy of their decision directly to the Department of Education (DOE).

If approved for disability benefits under either program, you must be receiving those benefits continuously for 24 months before qualifying as disabled. In other words, once approved by an ALJ on appeal; DOE must receive notice from SSA within 24 months after approval of being found eligible for these programs before being considered disabled for purposes of discharging loans under this section
