of the Health Education Assistant Loan (HEAL) program. The HEAL program 
provided federally insured loans to students in certain health 
professions disciplines, and these forms are used in the administration 
of the HEAL program. The Lender's Application for Insurance Claim is 
used by the lending institution to request payment of a claim by the 
Federal Government. The Request for Collection Assistance form is used 
by the lender to request proclaims assistance from the Department. 
Section 525 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, transferred 
the collection of the Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) program 
loans from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 
the U.S. Department of Education (ED).
