I applied for a #PSLF #StudentLoan waiver because I've spent the last 13 years working at nonprofit universities.

My former employer, Rutgers, never responded the Fed's request for verification that I worked there.

I called Rutgers HR to see if they can do something about it. I'm now on minute 16 of being on hold, listening to a muzak rip-off of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" while my coauthors on an article wait for me to show up in a Zoom room.

@RutgersAAUPAFT I *still* feel your pain.

@Bam @flexghost

20 years of throwing the equivalent of a car payment a month to loan "servicers", 6 antagonizing months of navigating through the MOHELA quagmire, finally got #PSLF forgiveness over the line recently. I describe my life now as feeling "almost" middle class.

The resumption of student loan payments is gonna be painful to the economy, let alone the borrowers...

Don't remember if I mentioned this here on not (pretty sure I didn't), but ...

my remaining student loan balance was forgiven under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program!

Been teaching / working in USA #k12 for 13-ish years now; made 10 years of payment; remaining balance was forgiven.

Whatever your thoughts on Biden's $10/20 thousand forgiveness, #PSLF rewards public service, which is a good thing.

Thanks @Foxsquire for advising me to ignore those confusing initial letters. And thanks for @POTUS for the #PSLF waiver.

A public service loan forgiveness letter is a beautiful thing to behold. #done #pslf #phew

Student loans are one step closer to being forgiven.

Mohela confirmed 125 qualifying payments toward PSLF. Waiting on the bureaucracy.

Why can't middle class Americans; that invested in their futures, get help with loan forgiveness. The Gvrnmt literally gave billions to the airline industry and other businesses during the pandemic. I barely get my bills paid at the end of the month. Not paying those loans has been a huge help to my family. 2 kids in daycare is crazy expensive! Wish we could pass legislation on both, loan forgiveness and childcare. #childcare #pslf #loanforgivness #gopsucks #scotus #eattherich #middleclass

Having a beer (allagash curieoux) to celebrate my student loan forgiveness 🥳#PSLF #TEPSLF #Beer

@dreamthievin

TBF, sounds a helluva lot easier than dealing with Mohela and #PSLF.

And there it is, the official letter from MOHELA about the PSLF. Amazing. No mention, however, about any reimbursement 😐 The whole process took from May 2022 to January 2023. As a retired 30-year IT guy, this is sad. The whole pricess could be automated end-to-end with NO human involvement necessary (based on database data ALREADY 'owned' by the IRS & FedLoans) #pslf

Since my #PSLF analysis for @theSBPC - added 1,000 usable profiles.

Have enough data to include federal balances with remaining payments in regressions for non-forgiven borrowers.

Both matter to well-being. Also look at people "waiting decisions" - their distress increases.

Another #PSLF cancellation for @alaa2325 🥳🥳

None of this debt should have ever existed. @POTUS you can cancel it all. https://twitter.com/KidDozzi/status/1612615760161144833

Got a letter saying all my students loans have been forgiven under #PSLF program. I am in disbelief. I checked my servicer website to double check and, sure enough, my balance says $0. Y'all. That's 165K in student loans to get my BS, MS, and EdD. It doesn't feel real.

Last month, I resigned from my Associate Professor position to set a new path for 2023. Today, I got a letter from the U.S. government that my outstanding student loan debt for my doctoral degree in clinical psychology was forgiven.

This was under the expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness program President Biden put into place. Otherwise my prior payments wouldn't qualify. I'm now $50,000 less in debt. Holy shit! Thanks, Grandpa Joe!

#studentloans #Biden #democrats #PSLF

#tfw you find out the remaining amount of your student loans have been forgiven thanks to 13.5 years of public service. Thank you, #PSLF.

Folks who got #pslf in the last 24 hours:
$89,560 (pediatrician)
$391,000 (public defender)
$301,000 (public defender)
$14,900 (public defender)
$43,353 (public defender)
$25,000 (Bronx primary care doc)
$125,000 (rural public defender)
$200,597 (public defender)
$1,189,850 GONE

A bit more info on studentaid.gov though the dates are incorrect. Still radio silence from both FedLoans & MOHELA, no texts, no phone calls, no voicemail, no email, no messages on either of their sites, no notes on the loan entry in their sites, no documents in their document repos, no US post. Nothing to indicate the change in status or when it happened. Helluva way to operate. #PSLF

Happy to see my #pslf work highlighted in #Nerdwallet this last week
