Student Loans PSLF Form – The PSLF form lets you submit to the Social Security Administration (or the IRS) any payments that you make in order to pay for pensions or other benefits.

For you to be eligible to be eligible, you must have made at minimum 120 qualifying monthly payments over the past 10 years.

PSLF’s loan acceptances and repayment options have been broadened by the new changes. Jon Toppen, MEA UniServ Director, facilitates training sessions for members to help them qualify for PSLF.

The past, payments made through federal student loans under the Federal Family Education Loan program weren’t eligible for PSLF.
