The PSLF Waiver expired October 31, 2022. However there is still a path to total loan forgiveness for many nonprofit and government workers!
Click the button below to learn about your next steps. Nearly 250,000 people have had an average of $61,000 forgiven!
Time left to apply for the PSLF waiver:
What?! I could get my loans forgiven?!
Yes! In 2007 Congress created the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) with a simple promise: work 10 years for government or nonprofits and all remaining federal student debt will be erased. But the program was badly broken and only 0.1% of eligible applicants ever got their money.
In October 2021, the US Department of Education used emergency powers related to the COVID crisis to temporarily fix the program with the “PSLF Waiver.” Now we finally have the program we always wanted. 180,000 Americans have already been approved since November 2021.
NOTE: This is not the same program as the $10,000 Loan Cancellation announcement - which is currently the subject of lawsuits and has not yet been implemented. The PSLF Waiver is the best path to total loan forgiveness for most government and nonprofit workers - and deadline remains 10/31/2022.
The PSLF.nyc Campaign is a nonprofit effort working with nonprofits, unions, and government agencies to help 250,000 public service workers in NYC get their loans forgiven.
I have loans and have worked in public service.
How do I get started?
During the special waiver period the program is extremely flexible. If you’re ready to give it a try, even if you were rejected in the past, read no further - just use the Department of Education’s PSLF Help Tool: StudentAid.gov/PSLF.
The paperwork is simple but you will need your employer to sign a form. The PSLF Waiver expires October 31, 2022, so you need to start now!
We can walk you through everything you need to meet the deadline - in only 30 minutes!
I’m an employer or membership organization.
How do I help my staff and members get their loans forgiven?
Congratulations! If you or your affiliated organizations are nonprofits or government agencies, your people are eligible for a massive benefit that will improve their lives, drive racial equity, and support employee retention.
