Great. What happens if I receive a 100% discharge?
In that case you do not receive a separate interest waiver because your entire loan balance, including any interest, is discharged.
Good to know. And who exactly is eligible for this borrower defense?
Under the law, you may be eligible for borrower defense to repayment forgiveness of the federal student loans that you took out to attend a school if that school misled you, or engaged in other misconduct in violation of certain state laws. You may assert borrower defense by demonstrating that the school, through an act or omission, violated state law directly related to your federal student loan or to the educational services for which the loan was provided.
