Student Loan Forgiveness (self.Blind)
submitted by Fit1mac2
I have recently graduated from college and have some small student loans. If I am deafblind, is there a student loan forgiveness program I would qualify for? Does it matter that I receive SSI? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

$1 is what I used. Worked out perfectly.

Just wanted to chime in, I used that too and got the rest of my loans waived. (I am on social security, I think that speeds up the process? I was not on social security when I was going to school tho.)
Thank you Obama!

Hmm, I wonder how this effects a person's credit score?

Didn't affect mine I had to show the written off loans as income on taxes.

I am in the post-discharge monitoring period. If you are receiving SSI or SSDI and have a case review date of 5-7 years, the process is pretty straightforward and you basically send in your award letter and the required forms. If your case review date is less than 5 years (or you are not receiving disability payments), then your doctor must complete a form certifying the degree of your disability. Either way, you serve a 3 year post-discharge monitoring period where you are limited on the amount of money you can earn by working (it’s around $16,000 annually). Disability payments or passive income are not counted toward this threshold; only earned income from work. My student loans show closed with $0 balances on my credit report.
