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
