12VAC5-507-220. Postponement or waiver of service for loan repayment program.
Participants have the obligation to complete full-time continuous service for the period of their entire commitment. Under unusual circumstances (e.g., illness), a participant may request that the board agree to a postponement of the service obligation. This postponement, if granted, shall not relieve the participant of the responsibility to complete the remaining portion of the obligation. Such postponement shall not be permitted as a matter of course, but may be allowed in cases of undue hardship.
The board may grant a variance to service requirements or default repayments upon participant request if it finds compliance with the applicable service requirements or default repayment would pose an undue hardship on the participant.
