34 C.F.R. § 682.512 Determination of amount payable on a claim.
Title 34 - Education
(a) Default claims—(1) Amount payable. The amount of loss to be paid on a default claim depends upon the date the Secretary received the application for a guarantee commitment on the loan. If the application was received— (i) Prior to July 1, 1972, or from August 19, 1972 through February 28, 1973, the amount payable on a valid claim is equal to the unpaid balance of the original principal loan amount disbursed; or (ii) From July 1 through August 18, 1972, or after February 28, 1973, the amount payable on a valid claim is equal to the unpaid balance of the principal and interest in accordance with paragraph (a)(2) of this section. The unpaid principal amount of the loan may include capitalized interest to the extent authorized by §682.202(b). (2) Payment of interest. If the guarantee covers unpaid interest, the payment of a valid claim covers the unpaid interest that accrues during the following periods: (i) During the period before the claim is filed, not to exceed the period provided for in §682.511(e) for filing the claim. (ii) During a period not to exceed 30 days following the return of the claim to the lender by the Secretary for additional documentation necessary for the claim to be approved by the Secretary. (iii) During the period, after the claim is filed, that is required by the Secretary to approve the claim and to authorize payment or to return the claim to the lender for additional documentation. (3) Recovery of outstanding debts. The Secretary may reduce the amount of loss due to the lender on a claim by the amount the Secretary determines is owed to the Secretary by the lender. (b) Death, total and permanent disability, or bankruptcy claims. (1) In the case of a death or disability claim, the amount to be paid on a valid claim— (i) Is equal to the unpaid balance of the original principal loan amount disbursed if the loan was disbursed prior to December 15, 1968; or (ii) Is calculated in accordance with §682.402(h)(2) and (h)(3) if the loan was disbursed after December 14, 1968. (2) In the case of a bankruptcy claim, the amount of loss is calculated in accordance with §682.402(f)(2) and (f)(3). (3) For purposes of this section, references to the “guaranty agency” in §682.402(f)(3) mean the Secretary. (c) Special rules for a loan acquired by assignment. If a claim is filed by a lender that obtained a loan by assignment, that lender is not entitled to any payment under this section greater than that to which a previous holder would have been entitled. For example, the Secretary deducts from the claim any amounts that are attributable to payments made by the borrower to a prior holder of the loan before the borrower received proper notice of the assignment of the loan.
