Privacy Act Matching Program for TPD Loan Discharges

The Department of Education's Federal Student Aid office has published a Privacy Act notice re-establishing a data matching program with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The program enables ED to identify veterans designated by VA as having 100 percent service-connected disabilities who may be eligible for Total and Permanent Disability discharges of their federal student loans. ED will proactively notify eligible borrowers and discharge their loans no earlier than 61 days after notification unless the borrower opts out.
