What Is OMB No. 1845-0102?

OMB No. 1845-0102 - officially called the "Income-Driven Repayment Plan Request" - is a legal document you need to complete if you want to lower the monthly payment amount for your student loans. Each repayment plan will give you an affordable student loan payment plan based on your income, family size, and state of residence. All of these factors determine your discretionary income - the amount of money you can afford to repay your loans each month.

The Department of Education currently offers you the following income-driven repayment plans:

  1. Pay As You Earn (PAYE).
  2. Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE).
  3. Income-Based Repayment (IBR).
  4. Income-Based Repayment for New Loan Borrowers (IBR Plan for New Borrowers).
  5. Income Contingent Repayment (ICR).

This form was released by the U.S. Department of Education. You can download the OMB No. 1845-0102 Form through the link below.

How to Fill Out an OMB No. 1845-0102 Form?

Add the following information to an Income-Driven Repayment Plan Request:

  1. Personal details: your social security number, name, address, and telephone number.
  2. Reason for submitting the form. You may wish to enter an income-driven plan, request the annual recertification, have a recalculation of your income-driven payment, or change to another income-driven plan. Choose a repayment plan, state the number of loan holders or servicers, and indicate if you are currently in deferment or forbearance.
  3. Family size information and your marital status. State the number of relatives who live with you and receive more than half of their support from you.
  4. Income information for single and married borrowers filing as single and married borrowers filing jointly or separately. You also need to provide documentation of all taxable income you and your spouse, if you have one, receive at the moment.
  5. Request of a one-month reduced-payment forbearance and its amount if you want to sign up for an income-driven repayment plan or wish to change it.
  6. Certification that confirms all of the information on the form is true, accurate, and complete. You also agree to repay your loans according to the repayment schedule and the terms of your promissory note.
  7. Your signature and the current date. Your spouse also must sign this form.
  8. Add the address of your loan holder you will send the form to.

Where to Mail 1845-0102?

Send the OMB No. 1845-0102 and all supplementary documentation to your loan holder. If you have a Direct Loan, the holder is the Department of Education. If you have a Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL Loan), the holder may be a secondary market, lender, guarantee agency, or the Department of Education.

However, if your loan holder uses a servicer to handle payment, billing, repayment options, and other communications, send the form to the servicer. When your loan holder sends the form to you, the address is already shown in Section 7 of the document.

SECTION 6: BORROWER REQUESTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, AUTHORIZATION, AND CERTIFICATION
If I am requesting an income-driven repayment plan or seeking to change between income-driven repayment plans, I request:
• That my loan holder place me on the plan I selected in Section 2 to repay my eligible Direct Loan or FFEL Program loans
held by the holder to which I submit this form.
• If I do not qualify for the plan or plans I requested, that my loan holder place me on the plan with the lowest monthly
payment amount.
• If I selected more than one plan, that my loan holder place me on the plan with the lowest monthly payment amount
from the plans that I requested.
• If more than one of the plans that I selected provides the same initial payment amount, or if my loan holder is
determining which income-driven plans I qualify for and I qualify for more than one of those plans, my loan holder will
use the following order in choosing my plan: REPAYE (if my repayment period is 20 years), PAYE, REPAYE (if my
repayment period is 25 years), IBR and then ICR.
If I am currently repaying my Direct Loans under the IBR plan and am requesting to change to another income-driven plan, I
must be placed on the Standard Repayment Plan, and cannot change to the plan that I requested until I make a payment under
the Standard Repayment Plan or make a payment under a reduced-payment forbearance.
If I check the box below, I request that my loan holder grant me a reduced-payment forbearance for one month so that I can
move from the IBR plan to my new income-driven repayment plan.

I understand that:
• If I do not provide my loan holder with this completed form and any other required documentation, I will not be placed
on the plan that I requested.
• I may choose a different repayment plan for any student loans that are not eligible for income-driven repayment.
• If I requested a reduced-payment forbearance of less than $5 above, my loan holder will grant my forbearance request
in the amount of $5.
• If I am requesting the ICR plan, my initial payment amount will be the amount of interest that accrues each month on
my loan until my loan holder receives the income documentation needed to calculate my payment amount. If I cannot
afford the initial payment amount, I may request a forbearance by contacting my loan holder.
• If I have FFEL Program loans, my spouse may be required to give my loan holder access to his or her loan information in
the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). My loan holder will contact me with further instructions.
• My loan holder may grant me a forbearance while processing my application or to cover any period of delinquency that
exists when I submit my application.
I authorize the loan holder to which I submit this request (and its agents or contractors) to contact me regarding my request or
my loan(s), including repayment of my loan(s), at any number that I provide on this form or any future number that I provide for
my cellular telephone or other wireless device using automated telephone dialing equipment or artificial or prerecorded voice
or text messages.
