Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

 

If you are employed by a U.S. federal, state, local, or tribal government or not-for-profit organization, you might be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Visit the PSLF website to see whether you might qualify.

 

PSLF Eligibility Requirements and Process

 

To qualify for PSLF, you must:

•         be employed by a U.S. federal, state, local, or tribal government or not-for-profit organization (federal service includes U.S. military service);

•         work full-time for that agency or organization;

•         have Direct Loans (or consolidate other federal student loans into a Direct Loan);

•         repay your loans under an income-driven repayment plan; and

•         make 120 qualifying payments.

 

You must be working for a qualifying employer at the time you submit the form for forgiveness and at the time the remaining balance on your loan is forgiven.

 

Whether you have made 120 qualifying payments, or working toward loan forgiveness, it is recommended to complete and submit the (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification & Application (PSLF form) to determine if you are making qualifying PSLF payments. This will help you determine if you are on the right track for loan forgiveness as early as possible.

 

Submit the form to the UCPath Center for employer certification.

 

The UCPath Center is responsible for certifying the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) form only and will defer any questions about the program to the PSLF website for answers.
