Instructions for Completing Direct Consolidation Loan Verification Certificate

The borrower named in this Loan Verification Certificate (LVC) has applied for a Direct Consolidation Loan to repay one or more eligible federal education loans. The borrower has identified one or more loans you hold or service as loans to be consolidated. As part of the application process for a Direct Consolidation Loan, each loan holder/servicer identified by the borrower must complete this LVC. After receiving the LVC from you and determining that the loans are eligible for consolidation, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) will pay off the borrower's debt to you using the information you provide on this LVC or, if you do not return this LVC by the specified deadline, by using information from ED’s National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).

Before paying off the borrower’s loans, ED will send the borrower a notice that provides information about all of the loans and payoff amounts that have been verified, and informs the borrower of the deadline for notifying ED that he or she wants to cancel the Direct Consolidation Loan, or does not want to consolidate one or more of the loans listed in the notice.

Upon receipt of payment from ED, you must notify the borrower that the loans that were with you have been paid in full. An overpayment from ED or any payments you receive from the borrower after you receive ED's payment must be sent to ED for application to the borrower's Direct Consolidation Loan. If the borrower contacts you about his or her account while the Direct Consolidation Loan application is in process, you should tell the borrower to continue to make regularly scheduled payments on the loan to avoid default.

Pursuant to 34 CFR 685.220(f)(1)(i), you must complete and return this certificate within 10 business days of the date received to the address provided on page 1 of this LVC.

Holder/Servicer Instructions:

Some of the information may be preprinted. Enter dates as month-day-year (mm-dd-yyyy). Use only numbers. Example: June 1, 2019 = 06-01-2019.

Item 1: Enter or correct the holder/servicer information.

Item 2: If the payoff check should be sent to a different institution and/or address than that in Item 1, enter the requested information.

Item 4: Sign, date, and provide the other requested information.

Item 5: Enter the date you complete this certificate.

Note: If you are no longer the holder/servicer of one or more of the loans listed, complete the information for the loans you hold and indicate in Item 19 the new holder/servicer for the other loans, if known.

Item 6: Enter the account number assigned to each loan for which you are the holder/servicer. If you have multiple accounts for this borrower, list them as #1, #2, etc. If the account number is the same for each loan, enter "same" on the subsequent lines.

Item 7: Enter the loan type, using the codes shown in the chart on page 4.

Note: Loan type W should be used for education loans that you believe cannot be consolidated, but that can be included as part of the borrower’s total indebtedness when assigning a repayment term. Explain in Item 19 the reason you believe a loan is not eligible for consolidation.

Item 8: Enter the annual interest rate (percent) in effect for the loan as of the certification date. If this rate is different from the statutory interest rate for the loan, enter the rate that is in effect as of the certification date, not the statutory interest rate.

Item 9: Principal outstanding (including capitalized interest)

Item 10: Unpaid accrued interest through certification date

Otherwise, leave Items 17a and 17b blank. If (i) and (ii) apply, for each loan that has been or is currently in repayment under the REPAYE Plan, the PAYE Plan, or the IBR Plan:

17a: Enter the date the borrower’s REPAYE Plan, PAYE Plan, or IBR Plan started.

17b: Enter the number of days of economic hardship deferment the borrower has received since the REPAYE Plan, PAYE Plan, or IBR Plan started.

Item 18: Enter the total payoff amount due to the holder/servicer shown on this LVC.

Item 20: Enter any appropriate comments. If unable to complete this LVC, please provide an explanation here.

Note: When the consolidation process is complete, we will send the entity listed in Item 1 or 2 payment for the sum of principal, interest, and allowable collection costs and fees. We will send a guaranty agency payment for allowable collection costs and fees. However, the guaranty agency’s principal and interest balances will be accounted for by Treasury form SF 1081.
