Thanks to those efforts, spearheaded by the National Education Association, there's now a growin g sense of hope for many who are struggling under the weight of their student debt. Last October, the U.S. Department of Education announced major changes in the PSLF program, resulting in thousands of borrowers benefiting from loan forgiveness. If you are eligible for loan forgiveness under the new guidelines, you should apply by October 31, 2022. How do you know if you might have forgivable debt?

There, you'll find video briefings from NEA experts, facts you'll need to know about the PSLF waiver that must be applied for by the end of October, access to the NEA Student Debt Navigator, webinars, and a comprehensive list of frequently-asked PSLF questions. There's also a podcast episode on the PSLF changes, produced by NEA's "School Me" podcasts available at bit .ly/wea-pslf.
