Section 97726 - Conditions Under Which a Scholarship or Loan Repayment Obligation May be Canceled, Reduced, Waived, or Suspended(a) Any obligation of a recipient for service or payment shall be canceled upon the death of the recipient.(b) A recipient may seek a waiver, suspension, reduction, or delay of the service or payment obligations incurred under this chapter by written request to the Office setting forth the bases, circumstances, and causes which support the requested action. The Office may approve a request for a suspension for a period of not more than 1 year. A renewal of this suspension may also be granted.(c) The Office may waive, suspend, reduce or delay any service or payment obligation incurred by a recipient whenever compliance by the recipient is impossible, or would involve extreme hardship to the recipient, and if the enforcement of the service or payment obligation would be against equity and good conscience. The Office shall give special consideration to the unique requirements of pregnancy.(d) Compliance by a recipient with a service or payment obligation shall be considered impossible if the Office determines, on the basis of information and documentation, that the participant suffers from a physical or mental disability resulting in the permanent (or near-permanent) inability of the recipient to perform the service or other activities which would be necessary to comply with the obligation.(e) In determining whether to waive, suspend, reduce or delay any or all of the service or payment obligations of a recipient as imposing an undue hardship and being against equity and good conscience, the Office may consider: (1) The recipient's present financial resources and obligations;(2) The recipient's estimated future financial resources and obligations; and,(3) The extent to which the recipient has problems of a personal nature, such as physical or mental disabilities, or terminal illness in the immediate family, which so intrude on the recipient's present and future ability to perform as to raise a presumption that the individual will be unable to perform the obligation incurred.Cal.
