right now its just an application. The confirmation email says they'll contact you if they need more documents or something

We'll contact you if we need additional information

We may need additional information from you to process your application. If we do, we'll contact you by email with additional instructions. The following are examples of situations where we'll follow up with you:

• We need additional documentation from you to verify your income.

• If you were enrolled as a "dependent student" anytime between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022, we may need information about your parents' income.

• We cannot match you to our loan records based on the information provided in your application.

looks like it is actually happening though. You can apply from now till December of next year.

      If you made voluntary payments during the payment pause (from March 13, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2022) and your current loan balance is below the amount of debt relief you’ll receive, after you successfully apply for and receive debt relief under the Administration's debt relief plan, we’ll automatically refund the amount you paid during the payment pause (only up to the remaining amount of your eligible debt relief).
