The Department of Education has issued a request for an extension without change of the currently approved OMB Control #1845-0158 which covers TEACH Grant Certification of Qualifying Teaching (Certification) and five Service Obligation Suspension Requests (Suspension Requests).
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (Pub. L. 110-84) (the CCRAA) established the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program under Part A, Subpart 9, of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA). The regulations governing the TEACH Grant Program are in 34 CFR 686.
If a grant recipient fails to complete the service obligation or does not meet requirements for documenting the service obligation, the TEACH Grants that the individual received are converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans that must be repaid, with interest charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement.
Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before December 7, 2026.
