Strengthens student loan forgiveness for public service workers by increasing the percentage of loan forgiveness based on the number of monthly.
The Strengthening Loan Forgiveness for Public Service Workers Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to increase the percentage of student loan forgiveness for borrowers employed in public service jobs. Specifically, it provides for 15% forgiveness after 24 monthly payments, 30% after 48 payments, 45% after 72 payments, and full forgiveness after 96 payments. The bill also mandates that any interest accrued during the loan forgiveness review period be canceled. This change aims to incentivize public service employment by reducing the financial burden of student loans.
