Abstract: The Federal Family Educational Loan Program regulations provide guidance in areas of program administration, and assure the Secretary that the integrity of the program is protected from fraud and misuse of program funds. The new proposed TEACH Grant regulations affect the FFEL regulations and provide for the conversion of a TEACH Grant to an unsubsidized Direct Loan when the borrower cannot meet the provisions of the Agreement to teach. TEACH Grant recipients who die will have their grant converted to an unsubsidized Direct Loan and therefore be eligible for a loan discharge under this provision. We project that a very small number of the TEACH Grant recipients will die therefore the amount of burden associated with a loan discharge for death is a modest increase in burden for individuals and loan holders.
