(1) the name and social security number of the individual whose dividend is being claimed;

(2) the amount the individual owes on a loan awarded under AS 14.43; and

(3) a statement that the loan is in default under AS 14.43.145 , or, if the individual has requested review of the status of the loan under AS 14.43.145 (c), that a final determination has been made that the loan is in default.
(b) The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education shall notify the individual of a claim under (a) of this section. The notice shall be sent to the address provided in the individual's permanent fund dividend application and must provide the following information:

(1) the amount of the claim;

(3) the individual's right to a hearing under (c) of this section.
(c) Within 30 days after the date of the notice under (b) of this section, the individual may request a hearing. AS 44.62.330 - 44.62.630 apply to a hearing under this section. At the hearing, the borrower has the burden to show that
