DESCRIPTION:The link to register for this webinar is here: https://www.oreg
 oned.org/events/public-student-loan-forgiveness-webinar.  This session is
  offered both February 22nd and February 23rd at 4:30 pm.\n\nYour union ha
 s the tools and knowledge to help you navigate changes to the PSLF program
 . Join us at our upcoming webinar to learn about program changes and the N
 EA Student Debt Navigator\, for a personal analysis of your loans and how 
 these changes impact you.\n\nSOME HIGHLIGHTS\nIn the past two years\, hund
 reds of thousands of NEA Members have made phone calls\, sent letters and 
 emails\, and testified before state and federal lawmakers to share their e
 xperiences with the failed Public Student Loan Forgiveness program. This f
 all\, thanks to the hard work and advocacy of educators\, the Biden-Harris
  administration announced that a host of changes would be made to the prog
 ram in order to make it more accessible to qualified borrowers. These majo
 r improvements\, many of them retroactive\, will have an immediate and pos
 itive impact on educators who carry student loan debt. To date\, 30\,000+ 
 public service employees have had their loans forgiven as a result of the 
 retroactive changes! They include:\n\n 	Borrowers now have until October 3
 1\, 2022 to certify their qualifying employment and apply for the PSLF pro
 gram if they have not already done so under the Limited PSLF Waiver.\n 	Qu
 alifying payments have been simplified to include more types of repayment 
 plans\, late payments\, and payments with small discrepancies in the amoun
 t paid.\n 	The application process for PSLF will be simplified by improvin
 g data collection from state and federal employers so that certification c
 an be automated.\n 	The Department of Education will facilitate regular au
 dits of student loan servicers to ensure that correct processes are being 
 followed.\n\nAgain\, you can register here: https://www.oregoned.org/event
