In reply to the discussion: OMG! My student loans have been forgiven! [View all]FemDemERA
(915 posts)68. So Happy for You!
The way they were doing the PSLF payments, very few were ever getting a loan forgiven - and the loan amounts just kept increasing. Biden's administration changed all that. Three months after they had calculated that I still had 3 years of payments left, they suddenly informed me that under the new rules I had actually completed the required number of payments back in 2019! Biden is my hero
