What the document says
“A borrower who receives a loan made under this part on or after July 1, 2027, shall not be eligible to defer such loan under subparagraph (B) or (D) of paragraph (2).”
The section adds a new paragraph (7) to section 455(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087e(f)) so that a borrower of a loan made on or after July 1, 2027 may not defer it under the unemployment or economic hardship provisions, and makes the two existing provisions subject to that paragraph.
What the document actually says
“A borrower who receives a loan made under this part on or after July 1, 2027, shall not be eligible to defer such loan under subparagraph (B) or (D) of paragraph (2).”
That sentence, in plain words
A borrower may not pause such a loan. That covers loans made from July 1, 2027. Two ways of pausing are named.
What this is about
One is for being out of work. One is for money hardship. Older loans keep both.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
