Overdue repayment obligation

Students, who have an overdue repayment obligation with Inland Revenue of $500 or more, where some or all of it has been overdue for a year or more, are not eligible for further Student Loans while their overdue repayment obligation remains at $500 or more.

This policy was introduced for all new applications from 7 February 2013.

The SAL system confirms information on overdue loan repayments with Inland Revenue through the Business to Business (B2B) online data exchange.

Student Allowances and Loans system.

SAL is the computer system that is used for the assessment and payment of Student Allowances and Student Loans.

It does not link directly to other MSD systems.

SAL has a direct link to online services such as ODS (Online Decision Support) and MyStudyLink. Information provided by students online can be automatically downloaded into SAL and the student's entitlement reassessed without any manual intervention.
