5. MOHELA reserves the right to modify, expand, or discontinue these programs at any time without notice. Rates are reviewed annually on July 1. Rate Relief and Public Service Benefits are offered exclusively by MOHELA Lender-Partners and are available to all borrowers in repayment whose loans are owned by MOHELA and serviced at the Chesterfield, MO servicing center. These benefits are not applicable to loans placed in consolidation. This benefit does not lower the monthly payment, but rather reduces the interest rate and results in more dollars being applied to the principal of the loan. MOHELA reserves the right to discontinue offering Rate Relief benefits to any borrower whose account experiences 2 denied auto-debits, or in the event an auto-debit is terminated for any reason. Loans guaranteed by guarantors other than the Missouri state guarantee agency may qualify for a reduced level of Rate Relief. Program start date is July 1, 2003.
6. Sallie Mae Cash Back is available on Stafford loans first disbursed between July 1, 2002 and June 30, 2005 that are made with a Sallie Mae lender partner. Sallie Mae must own and service these loans throughout repayment. Participation in Automatic Debit is not required to receive the Sallie Mae Cash Back savings, but it is encouraged since it can help you make timely payments. Stafford loans first disbursed between January 1, 1993 and June 30, 2002 continue to be eligible to receive the Great Rewards¨ and Automatic Debit program benefits on those loans. Loans eligible for the Direct Repay automatic debit interest rate reduction must be owned and serviced by Sallie Mae or owned by Sallie Mae and serviced by a participating servicer. Your monthly payment amount remains the same and you save money by repaying loans more quickly because the loan balance may be paid off faster.
