The Secretary concerned can repay certain education loans, including health-profession loans, for Selected Reserve officers who already have, or are studying for, medical qualifications the Defense Department says are critically short in wartime. The yearly repayment amount is capped, matching a related program's limit, and this benefit only applies to officers first commissioned by December 31, 2026.

(a) Under Defense Department regulations, and subject to the rest of this section, the Secretary concerned may repay: (1) loans made, insured, or guaranteed under Part B of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965; (2) loans made under Part D of that title (the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program); (3) loans made under Part E of that title after October 1, 1975; (4) health-profession education loans made or insured under Part A of Title VII, or Part B of Title VIII, of the Public Health Service Act; and (5) loans from a recognized financial or educational institution used to finance a basic professional qualifying degree, or graduate education, in a health profession the Secretary of Defense determines is critically needed to meet identified wartime combat medical skill shortages. (b) The Secretary concerned may repay these loans only for a person who (1) performs satisfactory service as an officer in the Selected Reserve, and (2) already holds, or is enrolled in a program leading to, professional qualifications in a health profession the Secretary of Defense has determined is critically needed for wartime combat medical skill shortages. (c) (1) The repayment amount is based on each complete year of qualifying service described in subsection (b)(1) that the person performs after the loan was made. (2) The maximum amount that can be repaid each year is the same as the maximum in effect that year under a related loan repayment program described in section 2173(e)(2). (d) This authority applies only to a person first appointed as a commissioned officer on or before December 31, 2026.
