Nice to hear about forgiveness, but not everyone can qualify for PSLF.

I can’t qualify because my government job limits how many hours I can work. It’s frustrating.

Same here. I’m working as a contractor at 30 hours a week. Hoping the exception helps me after 10 years.

What are the exact rules for this? Does everyone on PSLF qualify, or is it just for some people?

I wish they wouldn’t announce these big forgiveness numbers like they’re taking credit for something new. PSLF has been around for years.

Does this apply to those who’ve hit the 120 payment mark, or does it include people close to it? I’m a nurse and still early in my payments.
