Elementary and secondary education for the disadvantaged block grant.—Funds are allocated via formula for use by State educational agencies and local educational agencies (LEAs) in carrying out
any purpose of the consolidated programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and related laws and consistent
with State-determined accountability plans. LEAs are generally required to prioritize their highest poverty schools when
allocating funds. 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.

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 $1,730.
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 $950.
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 7 to 8 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 of the ESEA; the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003; and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, $392,374,000, of which $378,000,000 shall be for part B of title I of the ESEA and shall become available on July 1, 2021, and remain available through September 30, 2022: Provided , 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.

Special education
For carrying out the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act
of 2004, $13,985,228,000, of which $4,452,129,000 shall become available on July 1, 2021, and shall remain available through September 30, 2022, and of which $9,283,383,000 shall become available on October 1, 2021, and shall remain available through September 30, 2022, for academic year 2021–2022: 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 2020, 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 2020: 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
the amounts distributed to States under the previous provisos in fiscal year 2012 or any subsequent year shall not be considered
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 those 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.
Special Olympics education programs.—Funds are provided to promote the expansion of the Special Olympics and the design and implementation of Special Olympics
education programs.

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 2019, State VR agencies assisted
an estimated 143,523 individuals with disabilities to obtain an employment outcome, about 94 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.
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.

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 proposal would initiate a new set-aside for the Department of Education's Career and Technical Education State Grants.

Notes.— The Budget incorporates the effects of the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education Act (Public
Law 116–91) except for the effects on student loans.
Aid for institutional development:
Strengthening tribally controlled colleges and universities.—Funds support grants to American Indian tribally controlled colleges and universities with scarce resources to enable them
to improve and expand their capacity to serve students and to strengthen management and fiscal operations.
Strengthening historically Black colleges and universities.—Funds support grants to help historically Black undergraduate institutions to improve and expand their capacity to serve students
and to strengthen management and fiscal operations.
Strengthening historically Black graduate institutions.—Funds support grants to historically Black graduate institutions to improve and expand their capacity to serve students and
to strengthen management and fiscal operations.
Strengthening HBCU Masters program.—Funds support grants to historically Black institutions to improve graduate education opportunities at the Masters level in
scientific disciplines in which African Americans are underrepresented.
Minority science and engineering improvement.—Funds support grants to predominantly minority institutions in Opportunity Zones for projects that help prepare the future
generation of professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers, including computer science, while
also serving as engines of innovation and economic development in distressed communities.
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) and the College
Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), 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.—Discretionary and mandatory 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, Developing Hispanic-serving institutions Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math and articulation
programs, and Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans program.
Pooled Evaluation.—Requested authority 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.

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. The Budget incorporates the effects of the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education
Act (Public Law 116–91) except for the effects on student loans.
Funding from the Student Financial Assistance account and related matching funds would provide 7.4 million awards totaling
more than $30.9 billion in available aid in award year 2021–2022.
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 2021, over 7.0 million undergraduates will receive up to $5,285 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 2021 Budget request includes $22.5 billion in discretionary funding for Pell Grants in 2021, which, when combined with
mandatory funding, will support a projected maximum award of $6,345.
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 2021 Budget includes $500.0 million for Work-Study and 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 2021 data in these
tables reflect the Administration's Budget proposals.

Federal Pell grants.—The 2021 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 as well as to certain incarcerated students.
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 2021 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 $122 billion in new Federal student
aid grants and loans (excluding Direct Consolidation Loans) to 12 million students and parents in 2021. 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 as a partially independent Performance Based Organization
(PBO) 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 manages 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 made to
postsecondary students and their parents. Although no new FFEL loans have been originated since July 1, 2010, $174 billion
of outstanding FFEL loans continue to be serviced by lenders, the Department of Education, and guaranty agencies. The 2021
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 7 percent of overall loan volume.
In 2021, excluding Consolidation Loans, the Direct Loan program will make $93.8 billion in new loans.
The Direct Loan program currently 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 2019–2020 have an interest rate of 4.53 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 2019–2020 have an interest
rate of 6.08 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 2019–2020 have an interest rate of 7.08 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 1 percent, but an additional surcharge for sequestration was added in years 2013 to 2020. The base origination
fee for PLUS loans is 4 percent, but has included an additional surcharge in years 2013 to 2020. 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 5 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, 2007 in 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 2021 Budget institutes sensible
annual and lifetime loan limits for graduate and parent borrowers.
The 2021 Budget proposes to set an aggregate limit on Parent PLUS loans for undergraduate students of $26,500, the difference
between the dependent undergraduate aggregate limit of $31,000 and the independent undergraduate aggregate limit of $57,500.
In addition, dependent undergraduate students would be eligible to borrow an additional amount (up to the independent undergraduate
limit) depending on the parents eligibility for additional borrowing. The Budget also proposes to set annual and aggregate
limits of $50,000 and $100,000 respectively for graduate students, exclusive of any undergraduate borrowing. Graduate student
borrowing would additionally be simplified by consolidating all graduate borrowing under one graduate loan program with the
same corresponding loan terms and conditions as current Graduate PLUS loans.
In addition, the 2021 Budget provides higher education institutions greater flexibility to ensure their students avoid excessive
student loan debt and are able to repay their loans. As such, the Request proposes to provide financial aid administrators
greater latitude to limit loan borrowing and proposes schools be allowed to impose mandatory annual financial literacy training
(i.e., loan counseling) in order for students to receive loan disbursements.
The 2021 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, 2021, with an exception for students who borrowed their first loans prior to July 1,
2021 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, 2021, 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. The 2021 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, 2021, with an exception for students continuing to borrow to complete
their current course of study.
The 2021 Budget incorporates the effects of the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education Act (Public
Law 116–91) except for the effects on student loans.

1 2019 rates are current; these include actual executed rates for 2019 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.

For Direct Loans, the net upward reestimate reflects several assumption updates, including changes to the income-driven repayment
plan model. Model assumptions affecting the 2019 cohort were also updated. The Direct Loan upward net reestimate for 2020
is primarily due to updated IDR income assumptions using newly available IDR application data.

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.
