If you're struggling to manage your student loan debt, you're not alone. According to the Federal Reserve, Americans currently owe over $1.5 trillion in student loan debt. Fortunately, there are options for getting your student loans forgiven if you qualify. Here are some methods to achieve loan forgiveness for your federal student loans:
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF): If you work for a government or non-profit organization and make qualifying payments for 10 years, you may be eligible for loan forgiveness through the PSLF program. Make sure to submit an employment certification form annually to track your progress towards forgiveness.
Teacher Loan Forgiveness: If you're a teacher and have been working in a low-income school or educational service agency for five consecutive years, you may be eligible for up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness.
Perkins Loan Cancellation and Discharge: If you have a Perkins Loan and work in certain public service jobs, you may be eligible for up to 100% loan cancellation or discharge after five years of service.
Income-Driven Repayment Plans: If you're struggling to make your monthly payments, income-driven repayment plans may be a good option. These plans set your monthly payment amount based on your income and family size, and after 20-25 years of payments, any remaining balance may be forgiven.
Total and Permanent Disability Discharge: If you have a total and permanent disability, you may be eligible for loan forgiveness. You'll need to provide documentation of your disability and meet other requirements to qualify.
