§1073 — Title 20 Education | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary must not give federal loan-insurance certificates to lenders in a state when every eligible school or student in that state can reasonably get coverage from the state’s loan-insurance program or from a private nonprofit program that has a federal agreement. The Secretary may still issue a certificate in three cases: when a student cannot get state or nonprofit coverage because of where they live; when a lender shows that, because of where its borrowers live, no single state or nonprofit program will insure most of the loans it plans to make; or when the state’s loan-insurance agency approves coverage for a loan that already had a certificate and is not yet repaid.

(a)Except as provided in subsection (b), the Secretary shall not issue certificates of insurance under section 1079 of this title to lenders in a State if the Secretary determines that every eligible institution has reasonable access in that State to a State or private nonprofit student loan insurance program which is covered by an agreement under section 1078(b) of this title.

(b)The Secretary may issue certificates of insurance under section 1079 of this title to a lender in a State—

(1)for insurance of a loan made to a student borrower who does not, by reason of the borrower’s residence, have access to loan insurance under the loan insurance program of such State (or under any private nonprofit loan insurance program which has received an advance under section 1072 of this title for the benefit of students in such State);

(2)for insurance of all the loans made to student borrowers by a lender who satisfies the Secretary that, by reason of the residence of such borrowers, such lender will not have access to any single State or nonprofit private loan insurance program which will insure substantially all of the loans such lender intends to make to such student borrowers; or

(3)under such circumstances as may be approved by the guaranty agency in such State, for the insurance of a loan to a borrower for whom such lender previously was issued such a certificate if the loan covered by such certificate is not yet repaid.
