I’m surprised there’s not a sticky here about this as I doubt I’m the only forum member this has affected. Anyways in the US the application for up to $20,000 in student loan forgiveness recently went live. The application can be found on the front page of this website: studentaid.gov/They might annoy you later by asking for supporting documents, but I was impressed by how fast and easy it was to submit the application.

That is definitely the simplest anything I’ve done related to loans
My loans are massive from law school so I wont even feel this if it goes through, BUT I’m at year 8 of 10 for public service loan forgiveness.
My wife hit her 10 years last year and had 50k wiped.

You probably already know this, but until 10/31/22 (end of this month!) they’ve temporarily loosened PSLF requirements so you may already qualify. I’m submitting my updated PSLF paperwork after getting part of it filled out by a past employer. I wouldn’t be surprised if they find some loophole to deny me, but f*** it. Might as well take a chance. And if I do get denied at least I might benefit from the one in the OP

Why would a thread need to be stickied?

I'm glad to see stuff like this happening. I've fully paid off my student loans but it's astonishing to think the different path I might have taken if there hadn't been loans to begin with.

So happy. Since I had Pell Grants I qualify to have up to 20k total knocked off. A huge weight off my chest.

Why would a thread need to be stickied? Because it’s a significant event impacting a lot of people. Although given the few responses this thread has had, it’s obviously not impacting that many people here. Or if it is they don’t care to post about it.

My cousin had thousands forgiven and now she's using the debt freedom to pursue a doctorate. Really happy for her.

Student debt. It's what you all get you trying to educate yourselves.

I qualify for the 20k reduction, and I got my application in on the "test" page.
Hoping this means I have access to that 20k again because I'm not finished yet, but was coming up on the limit.

I received an e-mail this morning saying mine got approved despite the continuing pushback this has had.
My other application for complete forgiveness due to 10+ years of public service is still processing.

I'm baffled at all of this I know I certainly qualify. I applied on the site and received an email a few weeks ago about the issue with it being held up in the courts. I think I've already paid off what I originally even owed just been paying 120 bucks a month all these years which just basically covers the interest. I don't owe any payments till February so hopefully they figure it out by then.

Faxed my PSLF stuff to Mohela right at the Oct 31 deadline.
Still doesn't show in their system, but I'm not too surprised since I"m sure they were utterly slammed.
Would be nice to get some kind of confirmation that it just didn't get lost in the ether though.

It’s a crisis, it needs to be addressed. Just do it already, tear off the band aid and get it over with.

Just got another email today saying I was approved but it's pending the court rulings. The whole thing is so confusing. I read somewhere else that they are putting the pause back on repayments until June until they figure it out. I thought the whole thing was dead in the water from what I heard just days ago so who knows. Just let me know one way or another and I can set back up the automatic payments where I'll just be paying off the interest until I die.

The fact that this country can be f***ed over because some jackasses just felt like being jackasses makes me hate it here....
But they were fine with their loans that were way more than the 20k max that any one person would benefit from being forgiven...
