13459006, forgiveness is quietly happening…
Posted by sosumi, Wed Apr-27-22 09:13 PM
for folks applying for PSLF under TEPSLF

Education, Military, and nonprofit workers paying regularly for decades
should have had loans forgiven since the Obama admin plan was in place…
but goalposts were moved and interest doubled and payments were not counted properly
(there is a great ep of Patriot Act on netflix dedicated to this among other coverage over the years)

obviously this is part of why people do not believe in gov programs

without giving up too much personal info, I can say that TEPSLF is real and works for those
with fed loans who have been paying 10+ years

sorry for those with other types of loans, maybe that is what Biden is working on

with respect to tuition going forward, of course there are affordable education models
like California’s and New York’s public university systems but they can be just as
competitive as the “ivy” options… and parents with money can always use 529 plans

parents/students without - hope for employment that is not based on the label of the institution but skills and job performance, covid changed what work means

and if you are one of the few people of color at your job or there are few women at your job you have to realize not everyone with a loan-funded degree is getting the opportunity
to pay it off
