Dear Colleagues,
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program is a federal program created for those in public service jobs, such as ours, that offers the opportunity to have one’s federal loan balances forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments. Notably, the program would allow those who qualify to have the remaining balances of their student loans waived. The PSLF has recently been overhauled, making the application process much easier and widening the scope of eligibility.
If you have student loans you’ve been paying for years, this program could literally save you thousands of dollars. Many of our staff have already taken advantage of this, now it’s time you considered doing so too. Check out the full details at the government website, because this opportunity closes in October, you will likely wish to be quick about submitting your application.
Regards,
Eugene & Ben
