Where To Mail PSLF Form – You use a PSLF to report any payments you make to the Social Security Administration or the IRS to pay the cost to pension and other benefits. It is simple to fill out and could save you both time and cash. The form has several sections including employer information, payments which count towards PSLF, recertifying employment, and payment information.
The payments count towards PSLF
Payouts that count towards PSLF can be any type of payment, including ones from federal student loans and repayment plans. To qualify for the program, you must have made at least 120 qualifying payments over the last ten years. It is possible to set up auto debit payments to ensure you make qualified payments.
PSLF was previously subject to certain repayment and payment plans. However, the federal Government has increased its eligibility criteria by allowing late payment as a condition for the program. PSLF allows more types of loans and repayment plans with the new changes. MEA UniServ Director Jon Toppen leads trainings for members on how to qualify for PSLF.
The PSLF program is also open to those who have received a deferment under the Economic Hardship Deferment Program. If you took out these loans before January 1st, 2013, your payments will be counted towards PSLF. PSLF was prior to that it was limited to payments made for federal student loans through the Federal Family Education Loans Program.
Direct Parent Plus Loans are technically qualified for PSLF in the event that the parent is in an employment that is eligible. Parents are only eligible for PSLF when they are eligible for PSLF if their Direct Parent Plus Loans are converted into Federal Direct Consolidation Loans.
Recertification of Employment
The first step in applying for the PSLF loan forgiveness program is the recertification of employment using the PSLF form. To be qualified for the program, borrowers must have been employed for at least 10 years consecutively by a public-interest employer like a government agency or non-profit. They must also make at least 120 qualifying loans payments in that period. The submission of the PSLF form to recertify your employment is a requirement that you provide the form to MOHELA. MOHELA will review the form and inform you of the amount of qualifying loans you’ve made.
If you are a member of the program for a year or you have a change of job, when you change jobs, the PSLF form must also be submitted. This ensures that you’re eligible for the program. Additionally it transfers the loan to MOHELA which administers the program. Once you submit the form all supporting documents that prove that you are still working must be provided.
To complete the PSLF employment certificate, you will be asked for personal information such as your name, Social Security number and date of birth. In order to confirm any changes, you will be asked to check a box. After you’ve completed the form, you’ll have to tick a legal acknowledgement box to verify that the information is accurate. Then, you must sign and date the PSLF Employment certificate form. It will be sent to Department of Education.
The process of certifying your employment status may be done on the PSLF Form, as in the event that you are employed in a government agency that qualifies as a public service or government agency. This form may impact your PSLF payments, as also late partial payments and lump sum payments. You have to complete the PSLF form regardless of whether or not your employer is a public or private company.
