TO: Lenders Participating
in the Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program
SUBJECT: Corrections to
Application and Disbursement data submitted to the HEAL Program
HEAL Policy Memorandum 90-1
This is a revision to HEAL
Policy Memorandum 89-9 which implemented late fee charges to lenders who submitted
insurance premiums to the Public Health Service (PHS) more than 30 days past
the disbursement date. It also implemented a procedure of returning a computer
listing to lenders detailing loan information previously submitted and listing
any error messages on those loans the HEAL Branch considered to be uninsurable
or questionable.
Reference is made to the
following statement contained in Policy Memorandum 89-9: "...Insurance premium
amounts received by the PHS for loans which have been determined to be uninsurable
or questionable will be held by the PHS until receipt of corrected documentation,
but no longer than 60 days from the original disbursement date of the
loan. Upon expiration of this 60-day period the PHS will issue a refund check
to the lender."
In response to lender concerns,
the HEAL Branch is revising the 60-day period of time referenced in the above
statement to 75 days to allow lenders a longer time period to furnish the corrected
documentation to the HEAL program.
Please remember that it
is in your best interest to submit all loan information correctly the first
time so that uninsurable or questionable items do not exist. Please make every
effort to thoroughly review all documents before they are submitted to the HEAL
Program.
If you have any questions
please contact Terri M. Ehrenfeld of the HEAL Branch at
(301) 443-1540.Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Heningburg
