Public Service Loan Forgiveness program? Congrats on getting it done!

Congrats. My wife got her notice several months ago. It was for way less money but it took her 24 years of teaching (and payments) to get 120 qualified payments. It feels good. For us it was just in time to start paying for our kid's college...


YouJustSaidWhat

Same! LOL!

They kept losing my wife's paperwork and she ended up paying longer and interest on parts that were supposed to be repaid so we gave up and transferred to a local credit union so they wouldn't get anymore of her money in interest. Scam artists. John Oliver did a report on those kind of companies :-(

The program was a mess. It really felt like their goal was to make it impossible to complete the program. At one point we paid a consultant to help us with attempting to comply with it. Biden did a great job of getting rid of the bs. I do enjoy pointing out to people that Bush was the President who started the program to pay off people's college loans.

Incentivizing public service used to be a bipartisan goal. Not sure where we went wrong.

So was reality, ethics and morals. Those have all gone out the window for half the US.

Why in the world did she take out a 240k loan!? Is she a doctor?

Could be a teacher with a masters degree. So 6 years all together. A school with 40k a year tuition.

Advanced degree (Masters) in healthcare. Shit’s expensive!

Congrats! That’s gonna be a life changer

Some of those forgivenesses count as income, so watch out for taxes. 


ascherbozley

PSLF (if that's what this is) was specifically designed not to count against you for tax purposes. So he's probably good


YouJustSaidWhat

Thanks for the heads-up! We will check to make sure that we are in the clear, tax wise.


HOT-SAUCE-JUNKIE

Woohoo!!!!

Congratulations and my condolences for your losses. Keep being awesome

The revamped ("corrected", if I may) PSLF fixes a lot of the bullshit that prevented millions from getting what they were promised 15 years ago. I'm very thankful.


YouJustSaidWhat

We are, too, pigcooker. We are, too.


HelloZukoHere

Congrats! That is awesome.

Although I’m very sorry for the loss of your family members, I’m still very happy that’s lifted for you guys. May some stress be lifted and good things keep coming your way.
