Grants to local educational agencies.—Funds are allocated via formula for programs that provide academic support to help students in high-poverty schools meet challenging
State standards. States assess annually all students in certain grades in at least English language arts, mathematics, and
science; develop systems to differentiate among schools on the basis of performance on those assessments and other indicators;
provide parents with information on the performance of their child's school; and ensure the development and implementation
of support and improvement plans for the lowest-performing schools.
Student-centered funding incentive grants.—Funds would support grants intended to spur local educational agencies to participate in agreements under Title I, Part E
of the ESEA, which allow for the consolidation of Federal funds together with State and local funds in student-centered funding
systems based on weighted per-pupil allocations.
State agency migrant program.—Funds support formula grants to States for educational services to children of migratory farmworkers and fishers, with resources
and services for children who have moved within the past 36 months.
State agency neglected and delinquent children and youth education program.—Funds support formula grants to States for educational services to neglected or delinquent children and youth in State-run
institutions, attending community day programs, and in correctional facilities.
Special programs for migrant students.—Funds support grants to institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations that assist migratory students in earning
a high school equivalency certificate or in completing their first year of college.

reside on Federal property as described in section 7003(a)(1)(B)), are no longer eligible under such section, shall be considered
as eligible students under such section, provided such students remain in average daily attendance at a school in the same
local educational agency they attended prior to their change in eligibility status.

Impact Aid helps to replace the lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to educate federally connected children.
The presence of certain students living on Federal property, such as students who are military dependents or who reside on
Indian lands, can place a financial burden on local educational agencies (LEAs) that educate them. The property on which the
children live and their parents work is exempt from local property taxes, limiting LEAs access a central source of revenue
used by most communities to finance education.
Basic support payments.—Payments will be made on behalf of approximately 800,000 federally connected students enrolled in over 1,000 LEAs to assist
them in meeting their operation and maintenance costs. Average per-student payments will be approximately $1,630.
Payments for children with disabilities.—Payments in addition to those provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) will be provided on behalf
of approximately 50,000 federally connected students with disabilities in over 800 LEAs. Average per-student payments will
be approximately $970.
Facilities Maintenance.—Funds will be used to provide emergency repairs for school facilities that serve military dependents and are owned by the
Department of Education. Funds will also be used to transfer the facilities to LEAs.
Construction.—Approximately 6 to 10 construction grants will be awarded competitively to the highest-need Impact Aid LEAs for emergency
repairs and modernization of school facilities.
School improvement programs
For carrying out school improvement activities authorized by part B of title I, and part B of title IV, part B of title V of the ESEA; the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act; the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003; and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, $675,614,000, of which $652,340,000 shall become available on July 1, 2020, and remain available through September 30, 2021 : Provided, That $378,000,000 shall be for part B of title I: Provided further, That $16,699,000 shall be available to carry out the Supplemental Education Grants program for the Federated States of Micronesia
and the Republic of the Marshall Islands: Provided further, That the Secretary may reserve up to 5 percent of the amount referred to in the previous proviso to provide technical assistance
in the implementation of these grants: Provided further, That $180,840,000 shall be for part B of title V .

State assessments.—Funds would support formula and competitive grants to States to develop and implement assessments that are aligned with college-
and career-ready academic standards. Funds could also support audits of State and local assessment systems.
Education for homeless children and youths.—Funds would support activities to ensure that all homeless children and youth have equal access to the same free, appropriate
public education available to other children.
Training and advisory services.—Funds support grants to regional equity assistance centers that provide technical assistance to local educational agencies
(LEAs) in addressing educational equity related to issues of race, sex, national origin, and religion.
Rural education.—Funds would support formula grants under two programs: the Small, Rural School Achievement program and the Rural and Low-Income
School program. The Small, Rural School Achievement program provides rural LEAs with small enrollments with additional formula
funds to carry out activities authorized elsewhere in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Funds under
the Rural and Low-Income School program, which targets rural LEAs that serve concentrations of poor students, are allocated
by formula to States, which in turn allocate funds to eligible LEAs.
Supplemental education grants.—Funds support grants to the Federated States of Micronesia and to the Republic of the Marshall Islands in place of grant
programs in which those Freely Associated States no longer participate pursuant to the Compact of Free Association Amendments
Act of 2003.

that expand the pipeline of school-based counselors, social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals;
Grants to States for Emergency Management that help States strengthen school emergency operation plans; and Project SERV (School
Emergency Response to Violence), which provides services to school districts and postsecondary institutions in which the learning
environment has been disrupted due to a violent or traumatic incident.

For carrying out the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) , $13,451,145,000, of which $3,101,409,000 shall become available on July 1, 2020, and shall remain available through September 30, 2021, and of which $10,124,103,000 shall become available on October 1, 2020, and shall remain available through September 30, 2021, for academic year 2020–2021: Provided, That the amount for section 611(b)(2) of the IDEA shall be equal to the lesser of the amount available for that activity
during fiscal year 2019, increased by the amount of inflation as specified in section 619(d)(2)(B) of the IDEA, or the percent change in the funds
appropriated under section 611(i) of the IDEA, but not less than the amount for that activity during fiscal year 2019: Provided further, That the Secretary shall, without regard to section 611(d) of the IDEA, distribute to all other States (as that term is
defined in section 611(g)(2)), subject to the third proviso, any amount by which a State's allocation under section 611, from
funds appropriated under this heading, is reduced under section 612(a)(18)(B), according to the following: 85 percent on the
basis of the States' relative populations of children aged 3 through 21 who are of the same age as children with disabilities
for whom the State ensures the availability of a free appropriate public education under this part, and 15 percent to States
on the basis of the States' relative populations of those children who are living in poverty: Provided further, That the Secretary may not distribute any funds under the previous proviso to any State whose reduction in allocation from
funds appropriated under this heading made funds available for such a distribution: Provided further, That the States shall allocate such funds distributed under the second proviso to local educational agencies in accordance
with section 611(f): Provided further, That the amount by which a State's allocation under section 611(d) of the IDEA is reduced under section 612(a)(18)(B) and

in calculating the awards under section 611(d) for fiscal year 2013 or for any subsequent fiscal years: Provided further, That, notwithstanding the provision in section 612(a)(18)(B) regarding the fiscal year in which a State's allocation under
section 611(d) is reduced for failure to comply with the requirement of section 612(a)(18)(A), the Secretary may apply the
reduction specified in section 612(a)(18)(B) over a period of consecutive fiscal years, not to exceed five, until the entire
reduction is applied: Provided further, That the Secretary may, in any fiscal year in which a State's allocation under section 611 is reduced in accordance with
section 612(a)(18)(B), reduce the amount a State may reserve under section 611(e)(1) by an amount that bears the same relation
to the maximum amount described in that paragraph as the reduction under section 612(a)(18)(B) bears to the total allocation
the State would have received in that fiscal year under section 611(d) in the absence of the reduction: Provided further, That the Secretary shall either reduce the allocation of funds under section 611 for any fiscal year following the fiscal
year for which the State fails to comply with the requirement of section 612(a)(18)(A) as authorized by section 612(a)(18)(B),
or seek to recover funds under section 452 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1234a): Provided further, That the funds reserved under 611(c) of the IDEA may be used to provide technical assistance to States to improve the capacity
of the States to meet the data collection requirements of sections 616 and 618 and to administer and carry out other services
and activities to improve data collection, coordination, quality, and use under parts B and C of the IDEA: Provided further, That the Secretary may use funds made available for the State Personnel Development Grants program under part D, subpart
1 of IDEA to evaluate program performance under such subpart: Provided further, That States may use funds reserved for other State-level activities under sections 611(e)(2) and 619(f)
of the IDEA to make subgrants to local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, other public agencies, and
private non-profit organizations to carry out activities authorized by such sections: Provided further, That notwithstanding
section 643(e)(2)(A) of the IDEA, if 5 or fewer States apply for grants pursuant to section 643(e) of such Act, the Secretary
shall provide a grant to each State in an amount equal to the maximum amount described in section 643(e)(2)(B) of such Act:
Provided further, That if more than 5 States apply for grants pursuant to section 643(e) of the IDEA, the Secretary shall
award funds to those States on the basis of the States' relative populations of infants and toddlers except that no such State
shall receive a grant in excess of the amount described in section 643(e)(2)(B) of such Act.

Grants to States.—Formula grants are provided to States to assist them in providing special education and related services to children with
disabilities ages 3 through 21.
Preschool grants.—Formula grants provide additional funds to States to further assist them in providing special education and related services
to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5 served under the Grants to States program. The goal of both of the Grants to
States and the Preschool grants programs is to improve results for children with disabilities by assisting State and local
educational agencies (LEAs) to provide children with disabilities with access to high quality education that will help them
meet challenging standards and prepare them for employment and independent living. LEAs may reserve up to 15 percent of the
funds they receive under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to provide comprehensive coordinated early
intervening services to children age 3 through grade 12.
Grants for infants and families.—Formula grants are provided to assist States to implement statewide systems of coordinated, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary
interagency programs to provide early intervention services to children with disabilities, birth through age two, and their
families. The goal of this program is to help States provide a comprehensive system of early intervention services that will
enhance child and family outcomes.
National activities.—Funds are provided for personnel preparation and development, technical assistance, and other activities to support State
efforts to improve results for children with disabilities under the State Grants programs. The goal of National Activities
is to link States, school systems, and families to best practices to improve results for infants, toddlers, and children with
disabilities.

Vocational rehabilitation State grants.—The basic State grants program provides Federal matching funds to State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to assist
individuals with physical or mental impairments to become gainfully employed. Services are tailored to the specific needs
of the individual. Priority is given to serving those with the most significant disabilities. In 2017, State VR agencies assisted
an estimated 173,378 individuals with disabilities to obtain an employment outcome, about 93 percent of whom were individuals
with significant disabilities. VR State Grants is a core program of the workforce development system under the Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and a required partner in the one-stop service delivery system for accessing employment and training
services. Amendments made by WIOA require State VR agencies to reserve and use at least 15 percent of their Federal grant
allotment to support pre-employment transition services for students with disabilities provided in accordance with section
113 of the Rehabilitation Act. Between 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent of the funds appropriated for the VR State grants program
must be set aside for Grants for Indians. The request for the VR State Grants program includes the CPIU adjustment specified
in the authorizing statute.
Client assistance State grants.—Formula grants are made to States to provide assistance in informing and advising clients and applicants about benefits
available under the Rehabilitation Act and, if requested, to pursue legal or administrative remedies to ensure the protection
of the rights of individuals with disabilities.
Training.—Grants are made to States and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education,
to increase the number of skilled personnel available for employment in the field of rehabilitation and to upgrade the skills
of those already employed.
Demonstration and training programs.—Competitive grants and contracts are awarded to expand and improve the provision and effectiveness of programs and services
authorized under the Rehabilitation Act or further the purposes of the Act in promoting the employment and independence of
individuals with disabilities in the community. Funds are used to support model demonstrations, technical assistance, and
projects designed to improve program performance and the delivery of vocational rehabilitation and independent living services.
To further the goals of the President's Executive Order on Expanding Apprenticeships in America (E.O. 13801), the 2019 request
includes an increase in funds to support an inclusive apprenticeship technical assistance center that would expand apprenticeship
opportunities for individuals with disabilities, particularly individuals with significant disabilities.
Independent living services for older individuals who are blind.—Grants are awarded to States to assist individuals over the age of 55 with severe visual disabilities to adjust to their
disability and increase their ability to care for their own needs.
Protection and advocacy of individual rights.—Formula grants are made to State protection and advocacy systems to protect the legal and human rights of individuals with
disabilities.
Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults.—The Center provides services to deaf-blind youths and adults and provides training and technical assistance to professional
and allied personnel at its national headquarters center and through its regional representatives and affiliate agencies.

Career and Technical Education:
Career and technical education State grants.—Funds support formula grants to States to expand and improve career and technical education (CTE) in high schools, technical
schools, and community colleges under the reauthorized Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended.
Career and technical education national programs.—Funds support research, development, dissemination, evaluation, assessment, capacity building, and technical assistance
activities aimed at improving the quality and effectiveness of CTE programs under the reauthorized Carl D. Perkins Career
and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended. Funds would also support a competition for the newly authorized Innovation
and Modernization grants program focusing on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, including computer
science.
Adult Education:
Adult education State programs.—Funds support formula grants to States to help eliminate functional illiteracy among the Nation's adults, to assist adults
in obtaining a high school diploma or its equivalent, and to promote family literacy. A portion of the funds is reserved for
formula grants to States to provide English literacy and civics education for immigrants and other limited English proficient
adults.
Adult education national leadership activities.—Funds support discretionary activities to evaluate the effectiveness of Federal, State, and local adult education programs,
to test and demonstrate methods of improving program quality, and to provide technical assistance to States. Funds would also
support State efforts to create pre-apprenticeship programs that increase the number of adults who are able to meet the basic
entrance requirements of apprenticeship programs.

The Budget proposes authorizing legislation to double the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA) fee
for the H-1B visa program in order to help train American workers and close the skills gap. The proposal would increase the
AWCIA fee to $3,000 per worker for large employers and $1,500 per worker for small employers. The increased revenue would
provide additional funding for Department of Labor (DOL) job training grants to support apprenticeship and continue to support
other job training and related expenses at DOL, Department of Homeland Security, and the National Science Foundation. In addition,
this year's proposal would initiate a new set-aside for the Department of Education's Career and Technical Education State
Grants.

Other aid for institutions:
Model transition programs for students with intellectual disabilities into higher education.—Funds support grants to institutions of higher education or consortia of such institutions to create or expand high quality,
inclusive model comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities.
Tribally controlled postsecondary career and technical institutions.—Funds support the operation and improvement of eligible tribally controlled postsecondary career institutions to ensure continued
and expanded educational opportunities for Indian students.
Assistance for students:
Federal TRIO programs.—Funds would support the transition to a single State formula grant program that would support all existing TRIO activities,
as well as those authorized under Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), to help low-income
and other disadvantaged students progress through the academic pipeline from middle school through college.
Child care access means parents in school.—Funds support a program designed to bolster the participation of low-income parents in postsecondary education through the
provision of campus-based child care services.
Consolidated MSI Grant.—Funds would support grants allocated by institutional formula to minority-serving institutions that are currently eligible
to receive competitive grants under certain programs currently authorized in Titles III and V of the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended. These include Strengthening Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving Institutions program, Strengthening
Predominantly Black Institutions program, Strengthening Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving Institutions
program, Strengthening Native American-serving Nontribal Institutions program, Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions program,
and Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans program.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans
obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond, as well as any administrative expenses for the College Housing
and Academic Facilities Loans (CHAFL) Program and the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Capital Financing Program.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are on a cash basis. These programs
are administered separately but consolidated in the Budget for presentation purposes.
College housing and academic facilities loans program.—Funds for this activity pay the Federal costs of administering CHAFL, College Housing Loans (CHL), and Higher Education
Facilities Loans (HEFL) programs. Prior to 1994, these programs provided financing for the construction, reconstruction, and
renovation of housing, academic, and other educational facilities. Although no new loans have been awarded since 1993, the
Department of Education will incur costs for administering the outstanding loans through 2030.
Historically Black college and university (HBCU) capital financing program.—The HBCU Capital Financing Program provides HBCUs with access to capital financing for the repair, renovation, and construction
of classrooms, libraries, laboratories, dormitories, instructional equipment, and research instrumentation. The authorizing
statute gives the Department authority to enter into insurance agreements with a private for-profit Designated Bonding Authority.
The bonding authority issues the loans and maintains an escrow account in which five percent of each institution's principal
is deposited.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Federal
Government resulting from direct loans obligated in 1996 and beyond. The Federal Financing Bank (FFB) purchases bonds issued
by the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Designated Bonding Authority. Under the policies governing Federal
credit programs, bonds purchased by the FFB and supported by the Department of Education with a letter of credit create the
equivalent of a Federal direct loan. HBCU bonds are also available for purchase by the private sector, and these will be treated
as loan guarantees. However, the Department anticipates that all HBCU loans will be financed by the FFB. The amounts in this
account are a means of financing and are not included in the budget totals.

Notes.—Figures include, in all years, institutional matching share of defaulted notes assigned from institutions to the Education
Department.
Funding from the Student Financial Assistance account and related matching funds would provide nearly 7.6 million awards totaling
more than $30.6 billion in available aid in award year 2020–2021.
Federal Pell grants.—Pell Grants are the single largest source of grant aid for postsecondary education. Funding for this program is provided
from two sources: discretionary and mandatory budget authority provided by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, as amended,
and changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 made in the Department of Education Appropriations Act of 2019.
In 2020, over 7.2 million undergraduates will receive up to $5,135 from the discretionary award and an additional $1,060 from
the mandatory add-on to help pay for postsecondary education. Undergraduate students establish eligibility for these grants
under award and need determination rules set out in the authorizing statute and annual appropriations act.
The 2020 Budget request includes $22.5 billion in discretionary funding for Pell Grants in 2020, which, when combined with
mandatory funding, will support a projected maximum award of $6,195.
Federal work-study.—Federal funds are awarded by formula to qualifying institutions, which provide part-time jobs to eligible undergraduate and
graduate students. Hourly earnings under this program must be at least the Federal minimum wage. Federal funding, in most
cases, pays 75 percent of a student's hourly wages, with the remaining 25 percent paid by the employer. The Federal Work-Study
program also requires participating institutions to use at least seven percent of their total funds for students employed
in community service jobs.
The 2020 Budget includes $500.0 million for Work-Study, which would generate $548.4 million in aid to 322,440 students. The
President's 2020 Budget proposes to reform the Federal Work-Study program to support workforce and career-oriented opportunities
for low-income undergraduate students who can benefit the most, as opposed to subsidized employment for campus-based jobs
through federal aid. The Budget also proposes to reform the institutional allocation formula in order to focus scarce funds,
in part, on enrollment of Pell recipients.
Iraq and Afghanistan service grants.—This program provides non-need-based grants to students whose parent or guardian was a member of the Armed Forces and died
in Iraq or Afghanistan as a result of performing military service after September 11, 2001.
Pooled Evaluation.—Requested authority in the General Provisions would enable the Department to reserve up to 0.5 percent of funding annually
appropriated for certain Higher Education Act (HEA) programs for rigorous program evaluation, data collection, and analysis
of outcome data. The authority would not allow the Department to reserve funds appropriated for Pell Grants, but would allow
for evaluation of the program with the reserved funds.
Funding tables.—The following tables display student aid funds available, the number of aid awards, average awards, and the unduplicated
count of recipients from each Federal student aid program. Loan amounts reflect the amount actually loaned to borrowers, not
the Federal cost of these loans. The data in these tables include matching funds wherever appropriate. The 2020 data in these
tables reflect the Administration's Budget proposals.

Federal Pell grants.—The 2020 Budget proposes to expand Pell Grant eligibility to students enrolled in high-quality short-term programs that provide
students with a credential, certification, or license in a high-demand field. The Budget also proposes to bar someone from
receiving another Pell Grant if they have been awarded three consecutive Pell Grants without earning any credits.
Iraq and Afghanistan service grants.—The 2020 Budget proposes to move the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant program into the Pell Grant program and ensure the
children of our fallen service members receive a full aid award, exempt from cuts due to sequestration, and without any other
changes to program's benefits or eligibility.

The Department of Education manages Federal student aid programs that will provide nearly $131 billion in new Federal student
aid grants and loans (excluding Direct Consolidation Loans) to 11.8 million students and parents in 2020. The Offices of Postsecondary
Education, the Under Secretary and Federal Student Aid (FSA) are primarily responsible for administering the Federal student
financial assistance programs. FSA was created by the Congress in 1998 with a mandate to improve service to students and other
student aid program participants, reduce student aid administration costs, and improve accountability and program integrity.

The TEACH Grant program, authorized by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, awards annual grants of up to $4,000
to full- or part-time undergraduate and graduate students who agree to teach mathematics, science, foreign languages, bilingual
education, special education, or reading at a high-poverty school for not less than four years within eight years of graduation.
The program began awarding grants in the 2008–2009 award year. Students must have a grade point average of 3.25 or higher
to be eligible to receive a grant. Students who fail to fulfill the service requirements must repay the grants, including
interest accrued from the time of award.
Because TEACH Grants turn into loans in cases where the service requirements are not fulfilled, for budget and accounting
purposes the program is operated consistent with the requirements of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. This program account
records subsidy costs reflecting the net present value of the estimated lifetime Federal program costs for grants awarded
in a given fiscal year. Under this approach the subsidy cost reflects the cost of grant awards net of expected future repayments
for grants that are converted to loans.

The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 clarified that reserve funds held by public and non-profit guaranty agencies participating
in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program are Federal property. These reserves are used to pay default claims from
FFEL lenders and fees to support agency efforts to avert defaults. The Federal Government reimburses these reserves for default
claim payments. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, increased guaranty agency reinsurance payments from 95 percent
of the face value of loans to 100 percent. The following schedule reflects the balances in these guaranty agency funds.

The Federal Government has two major student loan programs: the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and the William
D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act eliminated the authorization
to originate new FFEL loans; as of July 1, 2010, the Direct Loan program originates all new loans. This narrative outlines
the structure of these two programs and provides text tables displaying program cost data; loan volume, subsidy, default,
and interest rates; and other descriptive information.
From its inception in 1965 through the end of June 2010, the FFEL program guaranteed almost $899 billion in loans to postsecondary
students and their parents. Although no new FFEL loans have been originated since July 1, 2010, $190 billion of outstanding
FFEL loans continue to be serviced by lenders, the Department of Education, and guaranty agencies. The 2020 Budget proposes
to eliminate the payment of Account Maintenance Fees to guaranty agencies.
Under the Direct Loan program, the Federal Government provides loan capital through the Treasury while the Department of Education
loan origination and servicing is handled by private and not-for-profit loan servicers under performance-based contracts with
the Department. The Direct Loan program began operation in award year 1994–1995, originating seven percent of overall loan
volume. In 2020, excluding Consolidation Loans, the Direct Loan program will make $100.2 billion in new loans.
The Direct Loan program offers four types of loans: Subsidized Stafford; Unsubsidized Stafford; PLUS; and Consolidation. Loans
can be used for qualified educational expenses. Undergraduates with financial need may receive a Subsidized Stafford loan
(graduate and professional students are not eligible). The other three loan programs are available to borrowers at all income
levels. Interest rates are set annually for loans originated in the upcoming award year based on the 10-year Treasury note;
those rates will remain fixed for the life of the loan. For Subsidized Stafford loans available to undergraduates, the interest
rate will be equal to the 10-year Treasury note plus 2.05 percent and capped at 8.25 percent. Loans originated in award year
2018–2019 have an interest rate of 5.05 percent. Interest payments for these loans are fully subsidized by the Federal Government
while a student is in school (up to 150 percent of program length) and during grace and deferment periods. The interest rate
on new Unsubsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate borrowers is the same as that on Subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduates.
The Unsubsidized Stafford loan interest rate for graduate and professional students is equal to the 10-year Treasury note
plus 3.6 percent and capped at 9.5 percent. Loans originated in award year 2018–2019 have an interest rate of 6.60 percent.
The borrower interest rate on PLUS loans to graduate and professional students and parents of undergraduate borrowers is equal
to the 10-year Treasury note plus 4.6 percent and capped at 10.5 percent. PLUS loans originated in award year 2018–2019 have
an interest rate of 7.60 percent.
Consolidation loans allow borrowers to combine FFEL, Direct Loans, and Perkins Loans, as well as some loans made under the
Public Health Service Act. The interest rate for new Consolidation loans equals the weighted average of the interest rate
on the loans consolidated, rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of a percent. For most types of Direct Loans, the origination
fee is a base rate of one percent, but an additional surcharge for sequestration was added in years 2013 to 2019. The base
origination fee for PLUS loans is four percent, but has included an additional surcharge in years 2013 to 2019. Borrowers
may choose from four basic types of repayment plans: standard; graduated; extended (available for qualified borrowers who
have outstanding loans of more than $30,000); and income-driven. FFEL borrowers may change repayment plans annually. Direct
Loan borrowers may switch between repayment plans at any time. The maximum repayment period is 10 years for standard and graduated
plans, as well as the income-sensitive repayment plan that is available only for FFEL loans. Under the current income-driven
administrative Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and statutory Income-Based-Repayment (IBR) plans, for new borrowers after 2014, the
repayment period is 20 years. Under the current income-driven administrative REPAYE plan, the repayment period is 20 or 25
years depending on whether the borrower has any graduate school loans. And, under the extended, former IBR (for borrowers
prior to 2014), and income-contingent repayment plans, the maximum time is 25 years. PAYE and IBR require partial financial
hardship in order to qualify for reduced payments and borrowers in those plans have their monthly payments capped at the monthly
payment of the 10-year Standard plan. At the end of the repayment term, the borrower's remaining balance is forgiven.
Federal student loans have other benefits. For example, Federal student loans can be discharged when borrowers die, become
totally and permanently disabled, or, under some circumstances, declare bankruptcy. In addition, there are several loan forgiveness
programs. For example, new borrowers after October 1, 1998, who are employed as teachers in schools serving low-income populations
for five consecutive, complete school years, qualify for up to $5,000 in loan forgiveness; this benefit is increased to $17,500
for mathematics, science, and special education teachers considered highly qualified under criteria established in the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act. In addition, under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, qualifying borrowers who have
worked for 10 years full-time for an eligible public service employer, and made 120 qualifying monthly payments after October
1, 2007in the standard or income-driven plans can have any remaining loan balance forgiven. This benefit is only available
in the Direct Loan program, though FFEL borrowers may receive the benefit by taking out a Direct Consolidation Loan. Forgiveness
is available for all Direct Loan borrowers, regardless of when they took out their loans.
The 2020 Budget would replace the five current Income Driven repayment (IDR) plans with one new Single IDR plan to make choosing
a repayment plan less complex. The new IDR plan would become the only income-driven repayment plan for borrowers who originate
their first loan on or after July 1, 2020, with an exception for students who borrowed their first loans prior to July 1,
2020 and who are borrowing to complete their current course of study. The Single IDR plan would: cap payments at 12.5 percent
of discretionary monthly income while eliminating the standard repayment cap; limit loan payments to 15 years for borrowers
with undergraduate debt only and 30 years for borrowers with any graduate debt—any remaining amounts owed after these repayment
periods would be forgiven; calculate payments for married borrowers filing separately on the combined household Adjusted Gross
Income; and eliminate Public Service Loan Forgiveness. As with the Single IDR plan, these policies would apply to loans originated
on or after July 1, 2020, with an exception for students continuing to borrow to complete their current course of study.
To further improve the implementation and effectiveness of IDR, the Budget proposes auto-enrolling severely delinquent borrowers
into the Single IDR plan and instituting a process for borrowers to consent to share income data for multiple years. To facilitate
these program improvements, and to reduce improper payments, the Budget proposes to streamline the Department of Education's
ability to verify applicants' income data held by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The 2020 Budget would also eliminate
Subsidized Stafford loans. As with the Single IDR plan, this policy would apply to loans originated on or after July 1, 2020,
with an exception for students continuing to borrow to complete their current course of study.

1Default rates displayed in this table, which reflect projected defaults over the life of a loan cohort, are used in developing
program cost estimates. The Department uses other rates based on defaults occurring in the first 3 years of repayment to determine
institutional eligibility to participate in Federal loan programs. These 3-year rates are lower than those included in this
table.
FFEL program payments are made to lenders (interest subsidies, loan defaults, and discharges) and guaranty agencies (default
collection costs, administrative services). These payments are partially offset by an annual consolidation loan holder fee.
In Direct Loans, cash outflows are primarily payments to Treasury. Cash inflows include principal and interest payments on
outstanding Direct Loans.
The following table shows Government payments to and from lenders, guaranty agencies, and borrowers for specific years, regardless
of when loans were originated. These flows do not reflect long-term costs to the Government, nor the value of outstanding
loan assets, which are reflected in credit reform subsidy estimates.
The Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 accounts for differences in the amount and timing of cash flows among direct and guaranteed
loan programs to make cost estimates for these programs comparable with each other and other Federal programs.

Notes: Totals may not add due to rounding. Subsidies are weighted on gross volumes.For 2018, the rates are current; these include the actual executed rates for 2018 and the effect of re-estimates on those
rates.
The table above describes Direct Loan costs on a subsidy rate basis: program costs calculated under the Federal Credit Reform
Act of 1990 and comparably projected estimates of Federal administrative costs. As with any long-term projection, the comparison
is based on assumed future interest rates, borrower characteristics, administrative costs, and other factors over the life
of the loan cohort. To the degree actual conditions differ from projections, estimated subsidy rates will change.
The Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 requires the cost of existing loan cohorts to be reestimated to reflect changes in actual
and assumed borrower behavior, interest rates, and other factors. The following table shows the impact of these reestimates
in FFEL and Direct Loans.

Changes in interest rate projections are a significant factor in FFEL and Direct Loan reestimates; recent declines in interest
rates below historical averages have been a major driver in changes to program costs. For Direct Loans, several other assumptions
were reestimated that contributed to the upward reestimate, including changes to the income-driven repayment plan model. Model
assumptions affecting the 2018 cohort were also updated. The Direct Loan upward net reestimate for 2019 is primarily due to
updated default and collection assumptions.

Consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113–76), the Health Education Assistance Loans (HEAL) program
was transferred to the Department of Education from the Department of Health and Human Services in 2014. The Department of
Education assumed responsibility for the program and the authority to administer, service, collect, and enforce the program.
The HEAL program guarantees loans from private lenders to health professions students to pay for the costs of their training.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with HEAL loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of HEAL loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments
in any year), as well as administrative expenses of the program.
