To: Holders and Servicers Participating in the Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program

Subject: Assignment of Judgments on Defaulted HEAL Loans
Lender Policy Memorandum L-2005-5

The purpose of this policy memorandum is to notify HEAL holders and servicers concerning the language to be used when assigning judgments on defaulted HEAL loans to the United States Department of Health and Human Services.  Attached is a suggested form that should be modified to meet the requirements of any relevant State laws and to reflect the precise form of the judgment.  For instance, if the judgment bifurcates attorney’s fees and court costs from the principal and interest, then the assignment should indicate that only the judgment for the principal and interest is being assigned to the United States. 

Beginning May 1, 2005 all default judgment claims received without the proper wording included in the assignment will be returned without payment.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.  If you have any questions, please contact Dick Horton at (301) 443-1541.

Sincerely,

Henry Lopez, Jr.
Director
Division of Health Careers Diversity and Development
