Submit PSLF Employment Certification Form – The PSLF form lets you provide the Social Security Administration (or the IRS) all payments you make in order to pay for pensions or other benefits. It’s easy to fill out, and can help you save time and money. The form has several sections. It includes information on the employer, information about payment that count towards PSLF and recertification of the employment.
Payments made using PSLF that are compliant with the law
PSLF payments could comprise any type of payment. This includes federal student loans and repayment plans. In order to be eligible for the program you must have made at least 120 qualifying payment in the last ten years. Create automatic debits to make sure you’re receiving qualifying payments.
In the past, PSLF required the right type of payment and repayment plans. But recently, the federal government has extended the eligibility requirements of the program by accepting late payments starting beginning in 2007. PSLF now will accept loans of all kinds and repayment conditions. MEA UniServ Director Jon Toppen leads trainings for members on how to be eligible for PSLF.
People who received the deferment under the Economic Hardship Deferment are also eligible for the PSLF program. The loans you receive be considered for PSLF if you received them before January 1st 2013. Previously, only payments for federal student loans under the Federal Family Education Loan program will count towards PSLF.
PSLF technically allows Direct Parent Plus loans so long as the parent works in an eligible position. Parent cannot receive PSLF benefits until the Direct Parent Plus Loan has been converted to an Federal Direct Consolidation Loan.
Recertifying employment
It is essential to verify that you are employed in the PSLF application form to be qualified for the PSLF loan cancellation program. The borrower must be employed by a public sector employer for at minimum 10 years to be eligible to participate in this program. Furthermore, they need to have made at minimum 120 loan repayments that qualify for the program during this time. The process of recertifying employment on the PSLF form involves submitting it to MOHELA who will then review the form and let the borrower know the number of qualifying loan payments they have made.
The PSLF must be completed every year. This will enable you qualify for the program. It also transfers the loan to MOHELA (the agency that manages it). Once you submit the form all supporting documents that prove that you’re still employed must be submitted.
The PSLF employment certification form asks you to provide personal information like your name, Social Security number, date of birth, address, phone number, and email address. The form also asks you to verify any changes you have made to the information. After you’ve completed the form you will be asked for a legal acknowledgement to confirm that the information provided is true and correct. Finally, sign and date the PSLF employment certificate form. The form will be delivered to the Department of Education.
If you’re working in an agency of government that is qualified or public service or public service agency, the PSLF will allow you to renew your status as an employee. The form could affect the amount of your PSLF payments. It can also impact late partial payments, lump sums, and PSLF payments.
