22 Pa. Code § 121.4. Denial of eligibility to loan defaulters.

§ 121.4. Denial of eligibility to loan defaulters.

(a)  A higher education applicant who has defaulted on an educational loan guaranteed or reinsured by the Federal government, the government of any state or institution is ineligible for an award or a disbursement of funds unless the applicant has repaid the loan in whole or in part and, in the judgment of the Agency, did not make the repayment merely to gain grant eligibility or unless the applicant otherwise shows good cause why grant eligibility should be reinstated. This includes programs administered by the United States Department of Education or PHEAA when awards have been converted to loans due to failure to meet eligibility or service requirements and the loan is in default status.
(b)  Applicants denied eligibility under this section shall be entitled to review of the denial in accordance with the procedure for review and appeals as provided in § §  121.7 and 121.8 (relating to notice of denial and preliminary review procedures; and applicant and recipient appeals and hearings).
