It’s not hard to fill out, and could help you save time and cash. The form has various sections.

PSLF-compliant payments
PSLF will count any type payment made, including those that are part of the federal student loan repayment programs. To be eligible you must make at the minimum of 120 qualifying monthly installments in the last 10 years. You can set up automatic debit payments to ensure you have made the eligible payments.
In the past, PSLF required the right kind of repayment and payment plans. However, recently, the federal government has extended the eligibility requirements of the program, accepting late payments from 2007 onward. PSLF’s loan acceptances as well as the options for repayment have been widened by the new changes.

The PSLF program is also accessible to those who have received a deferment under the Economic Hardship Deferment program.
