Betsy DeVos has a plan to fix student loan forgiveness. Here's what you need to know:
, borrowers can now complete one form to apply for both Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Temporary Expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness . The form also includes the Employment Certification Form.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is a federal program that forgives federal student loans for borrowers who are employed full-time in an eligible federal, state or local public service job or 501 non-profit job who make 120 eligible on-time payments over 10 years. Borrowers also must make a majority of their student loan payments while enrolled in an income-driven repayment plan.
In May 2018, the Department of Education announced $700 million funding for TEPSLF. The program provides student loan forgiveness for borrowers who sought public service loan forgiveness, but were rejected because they selected an ineligible student loan repayment plan. To qualify for TEPSLF, student loan borrowers previously needed to pursue PSLF to receive student loan forgiveness. To qualify for TEPSLF, a borrower needed to be denied for PSLF because some or all of the student loan payments were not made under a qualifying income-driven repayment plan. If a borrower was denied, the borrower then had to apply via email to FedLoan Servicing, a student loan servicer, for TEPSLF. Now, the Education Department has streamlined the process.
If you want to pay off student loans faster and save money, consider student loan refinancing, which can save you substantial money in interest payments. With , you combine your existing private student loans, federal student loans or both into a new, single student loan with a lower interest rate and one monthly payment. To qualify, you’ll need at least a 650 credit score and enough monthly income to cover your living expenses and debt payments.
