Public service workers would get student loan forgiveness sooner for new loans.
Public service workers with new federal student loans would get parts of their loans forgiven much sooner. This bill would offer 15% forgiveness after every two years of payments, leading up to full forgiveness. It would also make it easier to prove public service employment and cancel interest during the process.
Today, public service workers with eligible federal student loans can have their remaining loan balance canceled. This happens only after making 120 monthly payments while working in public service. If this bill becomes law, public service workers with new federal direct loans would start getting parts of their loans forgiven much sooner. They would see 15% canceled after every 24 months of payments. This would total up to 60% before the final balance is canceled at 120 payments. It would also simplify how they prove their public service employment and cancel interest during the forgiveness process.
