9 Established by the CCRAA in 2007 Individuals working full-time in public service, and repaying their eligible loans under specific repayment plans can qualify to have their remaining debt (interest and principal) forgiven after 120 payments (10 years). What does that mean?

10 Working full-time The greater of: What does that mean? whatever your employer considers full-time, or 30 or more hours per week 30 hour minimum only applies if you have more than 1 job: Ex: 1 st job for 18 hrs/week; 2 nd job for 12 hrs/week

11 What does that mean? in public service Government (local, state, federal) Government contractors DO NOT QUALIFY Organization that is tax exempt under 501(c)(3) of the tax code Certain other non-profit organizations that provide qualifying public services

12 What does that mean? Repaying eligible loans Federal Direct Stafford loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) Federal Direct PLUS loans Federal Direct Consolidation loans Loans may be from undergrad or grad/ law school Students who borrowed Perkins loans or loans through the bank-based FFEL program (ended in ), must consolidate those loans to make them eligible for PSLF.

13 What does that mean? under specific repayment plans Standard 10-Year Plan Income Contingent Repayment Plan (ICR) Income Based Repayment Plan (IBR) both new & old Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (PAYE) Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (REPAYE)

14 after 120 payments 120 payments do not need to be consecutive What does that mean? Payments must be on-time (within 15 days of the due date) Each payment must be made while meeting all the above requirements Payments must be separate, monthly payments (i.e. paying double one month would not count as 2 payments, only 1)

15 You must be able to prove that you qualify for forgiveness The Dept of Ed has created an Employment Certification Form that borrowers can use to track their eligible payments: Available at Can be filed annually It is not mandatory but we strongly recommend you use it!

16 When you fill out the Certification Form for the first time, your eligible loans will be transferred to FedLoan Servicing (if they are currently with another servicer) FedLoan Servicing will inform you of how many qualifying payments you have made during the period that s been certified Using this form means you don t have to track down 10 years of employment history when applying to get PSLF. Be sure to keep copies of everything you send in!

17 You must apply for forgiveness after meeting all the above requirements. An is available through FedLoan Servicing ( To qualify for forgiveness, you must also be working fulltime in public service when: You apply for forgiveness Your forgiveness is granted Amounts forgiven under PSLF do not count as taxable income Forgiveness is only granted after 120 qualifying payments are made No partial cancellations

18 Consider filing taxes in your last year of law school, even if you don t have any/much income IBR/PAYE Application will ask for most recently filed taxes, first, as a way of establishing your income Make sure you have the right loans Go to or Any loans labeled as Direct qualify for PSLF Any loans labeled not labeled as Direct, need to be consolidated before they will qualify All loans borrowed after July 1 st, 2010 are Direct loans (except Perkins loans)

19 In order to qualify for PAYE, REPAYE and PSLF, you must have Direct Loans. How do I know what type of loans I have? All loans borrowed after the academic year are Direct loans (except Perkins) Loans borrowed in and earlier could either be borrowed through the Direct loan program or the FFEL (Federal Family Educational Loan) program. FFEL loans were borrowed from private organizations/banks (Wells Fargo, CollegeInvest, etc). Many FFEL loans borrowed in and 09-10, were sold to the Department of Education, but they are not Direct loans. Check or to see what types of loans you have If you have FFEL or Perkins loans, you can consolidate them to turn them into a Direct loan.

20 Consolidate, if necessary You can consolidate after you finish school Go to to consolidate Consolidation takes at least 6-8 weeks to process May graduates should consolidate in no later than October December graduates should consolidate no later than May Sign up for an Income Driven Repayment Plan Application is available online at You can import your most recent tax return directly from the IRS If you didn t file a return, additional documentation will be needed (paystubs, etc)

21 Submit the Employment Certification Form annually Or, at minimum, anytime you switch employers Available at Apply for PSLF once you ve met all the requirements. You don t sign up for PSLF up front, you apply for it once you have met all the requirements Available at

22 Purpose: To enable and encourage committed students to accept lower paying public interest legal positions by providing forgivable loans to help repay those students law school debt. Requirements: 501(c) (3); government Must be position that utilizes grad s legal skills AGI of $75,000 or less Graduated after May 2003

24 PROSPER Act House of Representatives Eliminates Direct Loans for new borrowers after 7/2019 Existing borrowers can borrow Direct Loans through 9/2024 Can complete current program, but not start new one. Because Direct Loans are eliminated, new borrowers do not have access to the current IDR plans or PSLF. Direct Loans continue to have same repayment/forgiveness provisions Important to keep an eye on new legislation to ensure continued access to IDR/PSLF for future borrowers Contact your congressional representatives!

For full cancellation, you need to complete 5 years of service. Loans are deferred (no payment is due), while you complete your eligible service. You can submit Postponement/Cancellation Form to the school from which you received your Perkins Loan For DU borrowers: If you consolidate your Perkins Loan, you lose these benefits But, you would make the Perkins loan eligible for IBR, PAYE and PSLF
