The truth is: law school is hard — managing expectations around grades can be even harder!

Scores of experienced public service workers have been frustrated in their attempts to qualify for loan cancellation under Public Service Loan Forgiveness. They were told they had the “wrong kind” of loans or that payments they made “didn’t count” towards the 120 qualifying payments required to earn forgiveness.

On Oct. 6, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education announced a Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Limited Waiver Opportunity. For a limited time, restrictive requirements regarding loan type and repayment plan have been waived.

Also, the Biden administration is conducting a negotiated rulemaking process including revisions to the regulations governing PSLF and Income-Driven Repayment. New rules will be finalized and implemented by the summer of 2023.
