Direct Loans, which includes Federal Stafford, Consolidation and PLUS loans that are offered through the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. This includes TEACH Grants that have been converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans.
Federal Perkins Loans. When placed in default, Perkins Loans may remain with the school or are assigned to the Department for collection.

If your loan is in default or you have a grant overpayment and are not sure what type of loan or grant you have, check your original loan/grant documents or use our National Student Loan Data System. If the loan/grant is not one of the program types listed above and is not assigned to the U.S. Department of Education, the information on this site does not apply to you.
