Federal Student Loan Forgiveness Program

Is the federal student loan forgiveness program for you?

If you’re having trouble paying off your federal student debt, you may want to take a look at the federal student loan forgiveness program, known as the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF).

Under this federal student loan forgiveness program, borrowers who are employed in certain public service jobs and who have made 10 years of qualifying payments may be eligible to have the balance of their Direct Loan forgiven. To take advantage of this student loan forgiveness program, you must be employed by one of the following:

  • A federal, state, local or tribal government organization.
  • A not-for-profit organization that is tax exempt under the Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
  • AmeriCorps or Peace Corps.
  • Certain other types of not-for-profit organizations.

Determining your eligibility for the federal student loan forgiveness program can be confusing. For help understanding your options for student loan forgiveness and for paying down your debt in other ways, consult the professional credit counselors at American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC).
