Subject: Federal Perkins Loan Program Liquidation E-mail Address
We are pleased to announce the creation of a new Department of Education (Department) e-mail address to facilitate the process for schools discontinuing participation in the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) Program and liquidating their Perkins Loan portfolios. The new e-mail address is perkinsliquid@ed.gov.
The specific purpose of the perkinsliquid@ed.gov mailbox is for communication between schools and the Department’s Perkins Liquidation Team concerning the Perkins Loan portfolio liquidation process.
Intent to Liquidate
A school entering the Perkins Loan liquidation process may use the mailbox to officially notify the Department of its intent to liquidate its Perkins Loan portfolio.
Liquidation Process Questions and Documentation
A school that has notified the Department of its intent to liquidate its Perkins Loan portfolio should use the mailbox to:
- Complete the Perkins Loan liquidation process by forwarding a letter (as prescribed in the Perkins Loan Liquidation Procedures) to the Department, allowing the Perkins Liquidation Team to reconcile the final FISAP data as submitted by the school.
- Forward the independent Perkins Program Audit or portion of the audit that contains the specific Perkins Loan liquidation information as prescribed in the Perkins Loan Liquidation Procedures.
- Request a list of loans reported by the school to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).
Contact Information
Perkins Loan liquidation questions and information should be sent via e-mail to perkinsliquid@ed.gov.
For all other Campus-Based concerns or FISAP-specific questions, please contact the Campus-Based Call Center at 877/801-7168. Customer service representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. until 8:00 P.M. (ET). You may also e-mail CBFOB@ed.gov.
