MAPE members and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

The materials below offer guidance on federal loan debt relief under income-driven repayment plans and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program.

PSLF is a federal student loan relief program established in 2007 and is designed to encourage individuals to enter and continue to work full-time in public sector jobs. Participation in the program generally requires that the borrower have a federal Direct Loan, be employed by a qualified employer on a full-time basis and make 120 loan payments under a qualifying repayment plan. Upon meeting these requirements, the borrower’s loans are to be forgiven. 

If you have worked in public service (federal, state, local, tribal government, or a qualifying non-profit organization) for 10 years or more (even if not consecutively), you may be eligible to have all your student debt canceled. Now, for a limited time, it is easier than ever to receive that forgiveness for your service, or get credit toward forgiveness, if you have not yet served 10 years. 

The Department of Education has announced a temporary waiver to PSLF that expands the number of public service workers who are eligible for loan forgiveness. This temporary waiver will expire Oct. 31, 2022!

Labor unions played an important role in advocating for these temporary PSLF changes and we don’t want you to miss this opportunity. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.
