UNCLASSIFIED Student Loan Repayment Program Policy Guide. 4.8.Approval Funding The expenditure of public funds for SLRP benefits each FY must occur in accordance with the provisions of the Anti-Deficiency Act and within the FY's overall SLRP budget, as determined by RPO. FBI employees must meet all established eligibility requirements before OwD makes final decisions and determines funding amounts. SLRP incentive payments will be issued annually as lump sums to approved recipients' lenders for the approved amounts, not to exceed annual and lifetime maximums. Appropriate taxes will be withheld from the payments prior to the payments being sent to the Ienders. The approved amounts are determined based on available funding. For information regarding repayment of multiple loans, see sutsestion.4.2.2.3. The SLRP application system will automatically allocate funds in the appropriate manner.. 4.9. Reimbursement Requirement If separating from the FBI before fulfilling the three-year CSA, the FBI employee will not receive any further SLRP repayments and is required to reimburse the FBI for the total pretax amount of the SLRP payments received to date.
