How are attorneys selected for participation in the ASLRP?
Under 5 CFR ยง 537.103, each agency must establish a plan that designates the officials who are authorized to review and approve offers of student loan repayment benefits. The Department policy establishes a senior-level panel to administer and oversee ASLRP (hereafter the Program Administration Panel). The Program Administration Panel membership includes: the Associate Attorney General (Chair); the Director, OARM; the Director, EOUSA; the DAAG (Human Resources/Administration), JMD; the DAAG (Office of the Controller), JMD; and an AAG of one of the Department components (rotated every two years). Decisions of the Program Administration Panel on selection of beneficiaries are final and are not subject to appeal. The Panel reviews all requests for consideration and selects new attorneys each year, subject to availability of funds.
