Student Loan Mediation Before Litigation Program

Many student loan borrowers file bankruptcy cases based in part on financial difficulties repaying their student loans. Many borrowers are unaware of the available options for student loan modification. To facilitate the resolution of student loan issues for the benefit of debtors and lenders, effective January 27, 2020, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York prescribes the following district-wide program for debtors and their student loan lenders to seek repayment options through a student loan mediation before litigation program (“SLM” or “SLM Program”).
