What is PSLF

PSLF is an abbreviation that stands for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program forgives the remaining balance on your loans after you make 10 years of qualifying payments.

In order to be eligible for PSLF, you must work over 30 hours per week for an eligible employer. Only certain types of loans and repayment plans qualify for PSLF. Qualification for PSLF is through the United States Government. Borrowers are not required to pay income tax on loan amounts that are forgiven through PSLF.

For more information, please visit the Federal Student Aid website.

What is an income-based repayment plan, and how does it work?

Income-based payment plans are designed to make loan payments more manageable based on borrowers’ income and family size. These plans typically cap the monthly payment at a certain percentage of the borrower’s discretionary income, potentially providing more affordable repayment options.
