A recipient may request that repayment required under Regulation .12 of this chapter be deferred: For up to 1 year, if the recipient is unable to maintain employment within the recipient’s current field because the recipient must care for a spouse or child who is disabled; and For up to 3 years, or longer as provided for under §E of this regulation, if the recipient or the recipient’s spouse is assigned to military duty outside of the State. A recipient’s deferment request shall include satisfactory supporting documentation. Such documentation shall consist of the following, as applicable: A sworn affidavit by a qualified physician that the recipient is unable to maintain employment within their current field because the recipient must care for a spouse or child who is disabled; or A copy of military orders. OSFA shall review all documentation and determine if the deferment conditions have been met and, if so, determine the deferment period. OSFA’s determinations regarding whether to grant deferment and the length of deferment are final. During a deferment approved by OSFA, a recipient need not make repayments, and interest does not accrue. OSFA may under extenuating circumstances grant the request of a recipient who is assigned, or whose spouse is assigned, military duty outside of the State, to extend the deferment of repayment beyond 3 years. The recipient’s request shall be in writing and shall include a copy of the military orders.
