Breaking News: PSLF Loan Certification Form Released!

The Department of Education has released an Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form to assist borrowers in tracking their qualifying employment and qualifying payments as they work toward earning loan forgiveness.

How does it work?

If you are a qualifying public interest employer and your employees:

• Make 120 qualifying loan payments
• On Federal Direct loans
• While working full-time in a qualifying public service position

The federal government will:

• Forgive the balance remaining on those Federal Direct loans

Your employees must meet additional specific requirements before they can qualify for forgiveness.

• Learn more about taking the right steps to qualify for PSLF.

If you are a qualifying public service employer, your employees who are taking the right steps may be working their way to forgiveness.
