The Potential Impact of Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness in the Fifth District

Elizabeth Link, Jessica Sackett Romero and Sarah Turner

Richmond Fed Economic Brief, 2022, vol. 22, issue 29

Abstract: The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program offers government and nonprofit workers relief from outstanding federal loans after 10 years of employment. In October 2021, the Department of Education temporarily waived certain requirements, making many public service workers retroactively eligible for loan relief. This waiver expires on Oct. 31, 2022, creating a risk that many eligible beneficiaries will not access benefits. The program may be especially important in the Fifth District, which has a higher share of public service workers than the U.S. as a whole.
