    Abstract: These forms serve as the means by which eligible 
borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the William 
D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program apply for teacher loan forgiveness 
and request forbearance on their loans while performing qualifying 
teaching service. The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Application is used by 
eligible Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program 
borrowers; borrowers apply for loan forgiveness after they have 
completed five years of qualifying teaching service at a low-income 
elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency. The 
Teacher Loan Forgiveness Forbearance Request serves as the means by 
which a borrower who intends to apply for teacher loan forgiveness 
requests forbearance (permission to temporarily cease making payments) 
on the loans for which he or she is seeking forgiveness while 
performing qualifying teaching service applies for said loan 
forgiveness.
