Subject: New Address Information - Payments on Defaulted Federal Student Loans and Title IV Grant Overpayment Claims

We recently implemented new addresses to which payments on defaulted federal student loans and Title IV grant overpayment claims held by the Department of Education (the Department) are sent. We communicated these new addresses to borrowers, employers, and other members of the financial aid community involved in default collections.

The complete list of new addresses is provided in the three tables below. In order of appearance, the tables provide information for borrowers, employers, and lenders. Each table clearly identifies the payment type and its new post office box address and physical address. These are the addresses to which the identified payments should be sent.

Important Notes:

1)When using a non-U.S. Postal Service guaranteed shipping service, the "C/O Dept. of ED - XXXXXX" line of the physical address provided in each table must be present and must include the applicable box number. If the complete information is not present, there will be a delay in processing.
2)All payment instruments mustcontinue to include the borrower’s social security number (SSN). If an employer or a lender uses one payment instrument to cover multiple borrowers, the employer or lender must include a manifest that provides each borrower’s name, SSN, and payment amount.
3)Only the addresses for the payment types identified above have changed. Other post office box addresses in Greenville, TX, including the address to which informational documents are sent for research, remain the same.
