What is wrong with PSLF?
One of the biggest issues with the PSLF program was that it didn’t count certain payments made on federal loans. A limited waiver introduced Wednesday as part of the overhaul will allow borrowers to count payments on loans from the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program or the Perkins Loan program.
Is PSLF going to go away?
But the changes to PSLF are temporary, and are set to expire on October 31, 2022. Many borrowers will have to take action before that deadline, such as certifying past and current employment or consolidating non-Direct federal student loans through the federal Direct consolidation program, in order to qualify.
Can PSLF be retroactive?
If you made payments in the past that were rejected because they weren’t considered on time, those will now count toward PSLF. Any payments made on Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) or Perkins loans after 2007 will retroactively count toward PSLF.
Is PSLF a good idea?
If you have a large amount of student loan debt, then Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) could potentially save you thousands of dollars. It also might knock years off your student loan repayment timeline. You must meet all of the criteria to be eligible for college loan forgiveness, but the payoff can be worth it.
How reliable is PSLF?
As of November 2020, from the most recent data I could find, 3,776 borrowers had PSLF discharges out of 227,382 unique applications. The initial success rate was about 0.5%, and now it’s above 1% only a couple of years later.
Should I simulate my repayment under PSLF?
It’s important to recertify on time so that you stay on your IDR plan. If you aren’t on an IDR plan, payments you make after the payment pause ends won’t count toward PSLF. But you don’t have to recertify your income before the end of the payment pause.
Will PSLF exist in 10 years?

How many years is 120 monthly payments?

Can student loans be forgiven after 10 years?
