Determination of monthly required payment
40.1 (1) For the purpose of determining whether a borrower meets the eligibility requirements of paragraph 5 of subsection 39 (1), the borrower’s monthly required payment shall be equal to the monthly payment obtained by amortizing the amount of principal on all of his or her federal and provincial student loans outstanding at the time of the application for repayment assistance over the appropriate period of time determined under subsection (2) and using the interest rate determined under subsection (3).
(2) The amortization period used to determine a borrower’s monthly required payment shall be the greater of six months and one of the following periods of time:
1. In the case of a borrower who is applying for repayment assistance at the interest relief stage, the number of months obtained by,
i. subtracting the number of months since the borrower last was a qualifying student from 120 months, and
ii. adding the number of months that the borrower has previously received repayment assistance at the interest relief stage since the borrower last was a qualifying student, if any, to the difference obtained under subparagraph i.
2. In the case of a borrower applying for repayment assistance at the debt reduction stage, other than a person referred to in paragraph 3, the number of months obtained by subtracting the number of months since the date the borrower last was a qualifying student from 180 months.
3. In the case of a borrower with a permanent disability applying for repayment assistance at the debt reduction stage, the number of months obtained by subtracting the number of months since the date the borrower last was a qualifying student from 120 months.
(3) The rate of interest used to determine a borrower’s monthly required payment shall be equal to the average of the interest rates applicable to all of the borrower’s federal and provincial student loans, such average to be weighted based on the proportion of the borrower’s outstanding principal in each jurisdiction to the total amount of the borrower’s outstanding federal and provincial student loans.
Repayment assistance period
40.2 (1) If a borrower is granted repayment assistance, the six-month repayment assistance period shall commence at the beginning of the month in which the application for repayment assistance is submitted to the service provider.
(2) Despite subsection (1), a service provider may, at the request of an applicant, backdate the commencement of the repayment assistance period if the applicant has failed to pay the principal amount and any interest on his or her outstanding student loans during the months previous to his or her application for repayment assistance.
(3) The service provider shall not backdate the commencement of the repayment assistance period by more than six months.
Suspension of repayment terms in agreement

(b) instead of the payments required under the consolidated loan agreement, payments shall be made each month on the borrower’s outstanding student loans by the borrower and the Minister in an amount equal to all or part of the Ontario portion of the borrower’s monthly required payment, as determined in accordance with section 40.4.
(2) At the end of the repayment assistance period, the suspension of repayment terms in the consolidated loan agreement between the borrower and the lender in clause (1) (a) is lifted, subject to such amendments to the consolidated loan agreement as may be agreed to by the parties.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply if the borrower is granted a subsequent six-month period of repayment assistance immediately upon the expiry of a previous repayment assistance period and the suspension of repayment terms is consequently extended.
(4) In this section and in section 40.4,
“Ontario portion” means, in relation to the monthly required payment or the monthly affordable payment, the portion of the payment proportional to the portion of all of the borrower’s federal and provincial student loans that is equal to the student loans issued under this Part.
Monthly payments during repayment assistance

1. The borrower shall pay to the lender the Ontario portion of his or her monthly affordable payment.
2. The Minister shall pay to the lender any interest payable as part of the Ontario portion of the borrower’s monthly required payment that is not paid by the borrower under paragraph 1.
(2) For greater certainty, during the interest relief stage of repayment assistance, any part of the Ontario portion of a borrower’s monthly required payment that is attributable to principal and not covered by the borrower’s payment under paragraph 1 of subsection (1) is not payable to the lender.
(3) If a borrower is granted repayment assistance at the debt reduction stage, all of the Ontario portion of the borrower’s monthly required payment shall be paid each month on the borrower’s outstanding student loans as follows:
1. The borrower shall pay to the lender the Ontario portion of his or her monthly affordable payment.
2. The Minister shall pay to the lender any part of the Ontario portion of the borrower’s monthly required payment, whether attributable to interest alone or to both principal and interest, that is not paid by the borrower under paragraph 1.
(4) A monthly payment made by the borrower under this section shall be paid to the lender each month at the same time as the monthly amounts otherwise payable under the consolidated loan agreement would have been paid.
(5) Despite subsection 31 (5), a monthly payment made by the borrower under this section shall be applied by the lender against the borrower’s outstanding student loans as follows:
1. The full amount of the payment shall be applied first against the part of the Ontario portion of the monthly required payment that would be payable on the outstanding principal.
2. If the amount of the payment exceeds the amount of principal payable as part of the Ontario portion of the monthly required payment, the excess amount shall be applied against the interest payable as part of the Ontario portion of the monthly required payment.
(6) Despite anything in subsections (1) and (3), the Minister is not required to pay an amount under this section in respect of a month during a repayment assistance period if the borrower fails to make a payment as required under this section in respect of that month.
(7) Despite anything in this section, if the Minister is the lender under a consolidated loan agreement, the Minister shall be deemed to comply with this section by forgiving each month the portion of the borrower’s outstanding student loans that is equal to the payments that the Minister is otherwise required to make under this section.
(8) If there is a conflict between a provision of a consolidated loan agreement and this section, this section prevails.
Failure to make payments
40.5 (1) If a borrower fails to make one or more monthly payments that he or she is required to make during a repayment assistance period to a lender, the borrower shall pay all missed payments to the lender on or before 30 days after the end of the repayment assistance period.
(2) A borrower who fails to pay to the lender all the missed monthly payments as required under subsection (1) shall no longer be eligible for repayment assistance under this Part unless after the failure the borrower,
(a) pays all arrears of interest owing under the consolidated loan agreement;
(b) makes at least six consecutive monthly payments under the consolidated loan agreement; and
(c) is otherwise eligible for repayment assistance under section 39.

1. Any month during which the person’s payment obligations were suspended under old section 36 or 39 since the person last was a qualifying student is deemed to be a month during which the person received repayment assistance at the interest relief stage under the amended Part.
2. Any month during which the person’s payment obligations were suspended under old section 36 or 39 before the person last was a qualifying student is not relevant for the purposes of determining eligibility for repayment assistance under the Part.
