LRAP: Information for Attorneys
Announcements
Recently, federal student loan servicers replaced the Loan ID numbers with 10-character Account Numbers assigned to individual student loan borrowers. This change has caused some delays in the crediting of payments by student loan servicers even though the timing of loan payments through the Fosterus system has not changed. DCBF understands that the longer processing time may be nerve-wracking for LRAP participants.
As of May 2024, federal student loan servicers are transitioning from dot com to dot gov urls. MOHELA is transferring many borrower accounts. As a result, your loan data may look different on the LRAP portal than it does on your servicer's site. That's OK and won't impact your LRAP distribution.
We're aware that linked loans may be listed under the header Private when the loans are, in fact, Federal. That's OK and won't impact your LRAP distribution.
It may take some time for loan servicers to finish their transition. We appreciate your patience. Should you have any questions, please email the DC Bar Foundation at LRAP@dcbarfoundation.org.
The following changes have been made to LRAP:
-
Awards in the Public LRAP (for DC residents) will increase to $550 for federal or commercial loan monthly payments; no payments will be decreased.
-
Awards in the Private LRAP (for non-DC residents) will remain a flat $408 for federal and $592 for commercial.
-
LRAP participants with both commercial and federal loans will receive a maximum award of $1,000.
-
DCBF will continue to payout a flat amount until such time loan servicers can reliably report payment amounts.
If you have questions about the DC Bar Foundation's LRAP, please contact us at LRAP@dcbarfoundation.org.
