Dear AFGE Activist,
Your story and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) experience matters!
Tell President Biden, Secretary Cardona, and the Department of Education to eliminate student debt for those who have worked a decade or more serving their community. Now is the time to fulfill the promise of the PSLF program.
Congress created the PSLF program 14 years ago to alleviate the burden of student debt for dedicated public service workers. The idea was simple: work in public service for ten years and have your remaining student debt forgiven. Unfortunately, this promise has been denied at every turn. How bad is it?
- 98% of PSLF applicants have been denied loan forgiveness.
- Only 124 military members have had their loan forgiven.
- The nearly 150,000 PSLF application backlog is causing borrowers months of delay and uncertainty around repayment.
- Mismanagement and abuse by student loan companies has left hundreds of thousands deeper in debt and blocked access to PSLF for those with older federal loans.
Tell the Department of Education Your PSLF Story!
For years, we have heard Washington promise that problems with PSLF would “get fixed” and things would improve. No more empty promises. It is time for action.
Use this form to send a message about your PSLF problems to President Biden and the Department of Education. NOW is the time to deliver on the promise of PSLF and to eliminate student debt for borrowers with a decade of public service.
In Solidarity,
AFGE
