Field Descriptions

Field Name

Description

Student loan category

This field can be used for any purpose to categorize the loan; however, one common use is to assign different numeric codes to represent “deferment” versus “forbearance.” These codes can then be used when compiling a custom report or inquiry to view student loan status.

Government reimbursement ID

This field is not used.

Government interest pay/interim

If this field reads “000,” the interest for this loan will accrue to the member. If deferment dates have been entered to show the time frame in which this loan will be in deferment, this field must read “100” to indicate that the loan is in deferment and to accrue all interest to the government.

Government interest pay/repay

This field is not used.

Date defer starts

Enter the date (mmddyy) on which the loan should be placed in deferment.

  • IMPORTANT: The Government interest pay/interim field must be set to “100” in order for the system to recognize deferment dates.

Date defer ends

Enter the date (mmddyy) on which the deferment period ends. Once this date has passed, the system will automatically begin accruing interest to the member again.

  • IMPORTANT: The Government interest pay/interim field must be set to “100” in order for the system to recognize deferment dates.
