 Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program

​​​

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after you have made 120 qualifying monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer.  If you want to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness now or in the future, complete and submit the Employment Certification form as soon as possible.  Too many borrowers wait to submit this important form until they have been in repayment for several years, at which point they learn that they have not been making qualifying payment​s.  In order to ensure you're on track to receive forgiveness should continue to submit this form both annually and everytime​ you switch employers.
