Easier Student Loan Forgiveness for Public Service Workers

This act makes it easier for public service employees to qualify for student loan forgiveness. It allows the first 60 monthly payments made under any repayment plan to count towards the required 120 payments. This means public service workers can qualify for debt cancellation sooner, even if they weren't initially on a specific repayment plan.
Key points
The first 60 student loan payments, regardless of the repayment plan, will count towards the 120-payment requirement for loan forgiveness.
This change applies to borrowers who have made fewer than 120 payments as of the act's effective date.
The Department of Education will inform eligible borrowers about this change and options for changing repayment plans.
