Quick Answer

MOHELA is an official federal student loan servicer used by Federal Student Aid to manage billing, questions, payments, and repayment-plan support. Borrowers should use the official portal and save records before relying on a servicer conversation.

What Borrowers Should Know

What MOHELA does

MOHELA is one of the private companies Federal Student Aid uses to manage billing, borrower questions, payments, and repayment-plan support for federal student loans. This page is not MOHELA, Federal Student Aid, or the Department of Education. Use it as a preparation checklist before logging in, calling, or changing repayment plans.

Phone and contact note

As of the June 17, 2026 source check, MOHELA's official site listed 1-888-866-4352 as a toll-free number, 636-532-0600 for international calls, and TTY by dialing 711. The site also points PSLF callers toward Federal Student Aid through 800-4-FEDAID. Always verify the current number and hours on MOHELA.StudentAid.gov before calling.

PSLF questions

MOHELA's site states that PSLF is managed by the U.S. Department of Education, not MOHELA. If your question involves Public Service Loan Forgiveness, save your StudentAid.gov PSLF payment counts, employment history, form status, loan type, and payment history before making a decision.

Credit reporting and payment questions

If a payment, balance, due date, or credit reporting issue looks wrong, save the billing statement, payment confirmation, bank record, screenshot, date, time, and representative details. Ask for a written explanation or confirmation number.

Before you contact MOHELA

  • Save your StudentAid.gov loan summary.
  • Save your MOHELA balance, interest rate, due date, payment history, and repayment plan.
  • Save PSLF payment counts and employment records if applicable.
  • Save any login error or payment error screenshots.
  • Write down exactly what correction or explanation you need.

Action Checklist

  • Log in to StudentAid.gov and confirm loan type, servicer, balance, payment status, and current plan.
  • Save screenshots or PDFs before submitting any repayment, consolidation, forgiveness, or complaint form.
  • Ask your servicer for written confirmation when the answer affects payment amount, eligibility, or deadlines.
  • Recheck official sources on the day you act, especially when rules, dates, or application access may have changed.

Plain-English Example

If a borrower is researching MOHELA student loans, the practical first step is to write down loan type, servicer, balance, current payment, income, employer type, and the document they are trying to complete. That makes the next servicer call more concrete and reduces the chance of acting on a generic answer that does not fit the loan.

Common Questions

Is MOHELA an official federal student loan servicer?

No. Student Loan Help Hub is an independent education and referral resource, not the Department of Education, Federal Student Aid, a school, or a loan servicer.

Does MOHELA manage PSLF?

Do not rely on a verbal forgiveness estimate alone. For MOHELA student loans, verify loan type, employer history, payment counts, repayment plan, and form status through StudentAid.gov or the official program route.

What should I save before calling MOHELA?

Start with the official servicer site, StudentAid.gov, or the phone number printed on your account notice. For MOHELA student loans, save the number dialed, date, representative details, case number, and any written follow-up.
