documentation requirements attached to federal student

providing updated information on family size and income,
the servicemember can make a request to have the monthly
payment amount maintained.

Inappropriate requirements for seeking SCRA
§ DOJ and the FDIC ordered Sallie Mae and Navient to
¨ Pay nearly $100 million
¨ To more than 77,000 servicemembers
§ Regulators determined that the companies were:

requirements not found in the law;
¨ Improperly advising servicemembers that they must be deployed to
receive benefits under the SCRA; and
¨ Failing to provide complete SCRA relief to servicemembers after having
been put on notice of these borrowers’ active-duty status
