SLRP payments are made each year on or after your anniversary date (one year after you signed the SLRP addendum that accompanies your contract). Annual payments will only be made on those loans that you have secured for at least one year prior to your anniversary date.

In other words, four payments will be made at once. However, it is best to submit once a year for payments and avoid this situation as well as a large tax bill. SLRP payments are made directly to the bank or loan holder.

Payments are not made to you. Any money you pay towards your student loans will not be repaid to you.
