Good afternoon,

People with disabilities have an increased likelihood of experiencing
financial insecurity. Student loan obligations may contribute to this
financial distress. However, federal student loans have a range of
protections under federal law. These protections are designed to
prevent borrowers from struggling with unaffordable monthly payments.

]

Student loan borrowers with disabilities face unique challenges when
repaying student loan debt. Last year, theDepartment of Education
identified approximately 387,000 borrowers with severe disabilities
that were eligible for Total and Permanent Disability Discharge [

], 179,000 of which were in default.
