最新报道:The U.S. Department of Education has tightened eligibility requirements for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, making it more difficult for borrowers to qualify. Under the new rules, applicants must now provide additional documentation proving continuous full-time employment in qualifying public service jobs for the entire 10-year repayment period. The changes, effective immediately, also limit the types of loans eligible for forgiveness and introduce stricter income verification processes. Education Secretary emphasized these adjustments aim to ensure program sustainability, but critics argue they disproportionately affect lower-income public sector workers. Over 500,000 borrowers currently enrolled in PSLF may be impacted by the revised criteria.
