We know that student loan debt is a prevalent is-
sue facing today’s educators, and can even be a
deterrent to recruiting and retaining new talent.
With the expiration of the CARES Act set for May
1, 2022, student loan payments will be resuming
soon. But did you know that many of your em-
ployees may be eligible for the Public Service Loan
Forgiveness (PSLF) program? The PSLF can help
lower monthly payments and enable educators to
pay off their loans more quickly. Even if they’ve
been turned down before, now is a good time
for your employees to take another look at PSLF.
Please join us as we walk through this program
and its eligibility requirements, how it can benefit
your employees, and the tools and resources avail-
able to them.
