Urge Your Congressional Lawmakers to Pass the Simplifying and Strengthening Public Service Loan Forgiveness Act
Despite the incredibly valuable services that social workers provide, access to student loan debt relief has remained largely out of reach for this workforce. That is why NASW supports legislation like the Simplifying and Strengthening Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Act of 2022 (H.R. 8330/S. 4345) which would make permanent the recent improvements to the PSLF program under the Biden Administration, and would implement other commonsense reforms to help America’s public servants lower the cost of higher education.
