• You are a veteran who has been determined to be unemployable due to a service-connected condition.

• You are employed by a U.S. federal, state, local or tribal government or a qualifying non-profit organization (including U.S. military service)

• You have Direct Loans (or consolidate other federal student loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan). Currently, only Direct Loans are eligible for the PSLF program, but your commercially held FFELP loans serviced by AES may become eligible if you consolidate them into a Direct Consolidation Loan. You can complete a Direct Loan Consolidation application and review the pros and cons of consolidating by visiting StudentAid.gov.

There are additional eligibility requirements which can be found on Federal Student Aid’s website. For more information about the PSLF program, to check if your employer qualifies, and to learn about any necessary steps you need to take, please visit StudentAid.gov/PSLF.

On October 25, 2022, ED confirmed periods that are qualifying under the IDR waiver opportunity will count toward PSLF provided the borrower certifies qualifying employment during those periods. Due to this adjustment, if you have federally managed FFELP and Direct loans, your loans could start being forgiven in spring 2023 if they reach the number of months required for forgiveness under the IDR or PSLF programs. All other adjustments under this limited opportunity will be completed on eligible loans in 2024.

Commercially held FFELP loans may qualify, but only if you consolidate them into a Direct Consolidation Loan by the end of 2023.

For more information, please visit StudentAid.gov.

• You, the borrower, die, then your loans may be discharged.
• You are a parent PLUS loan borrower, then your loan may be discharged if you die, or if the student on whose behalf you obtain the loan dies.
