You are a new borrower for the IBR Plan if you had no outstanding balance on any other Direct Loan or FFEL
Program loan when you received a Direct Loan on or after July 1, 2014.
Note: Because no new loans have been made under the FFEL Program since June 30, 2010, only Direct
Loan borrowers can qualify as new borrowers for the IBR Plan.
