Reminder: Deadline this week for student debt relief

Employees of faith-based nonprofits (pastors and other personnel) are eligible for the student debt relief program. See more details here. The PSLF program and limited waiver are available in addition to the one-time debt relief of up to $20,000 that the Biden-Harris Administration announced in August. Borrowers can apply for both PSLF and one-time debt relief, but they are separate applications. Learn more and apply for one-time relief here. However, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Deadline is October 31, 2022.
