Easier Student Loan Forgiveness for National Guard and Reserve Members

This act makes it easier for National Guard and Reserve members to count their service periods towards public service loan forgiveness. This means their military service can help them pay off federal student loans faster, even if they weren't working full-time in a public service job at the time. The government will automatically verify this data, reducing paperwork for service members.
