Borrower Experience: Online Deferment Forms
Nelnet.com features deferment forms for FFELP and FDLP borrowers. Even though there is only one loan origination program now, deferment request forms for FFELP or FDLP are accepted for both loan programs.
Updated deferment forms have now been created to eliminate any slight differences between the previous FFELP and FDLP forms, and the servicers need to be using the updated, combined forms by December 31, 2012.
But, Nelnet borrowers don’t have to wait until December 31 to use the new forms! Nelnet is already accepting the combined forms, and we keep them available on Nelnet’s Online Forms Page. We will also still accept the old forms that are specific to FFELP and FDLP if that’s the form the borrower chooses to use.
Have your students let us know how we can get them the deferments they need or get their questions answered. We’re happy to help!
