Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PLSF) Program

The PLSF is not a University benefit offering, but is a federal program that allows outstanding, qualifying federal student loan remaining balances to be forgiven after 120 qualifying payments (10 years), while actively working full time for a qualifying public service employer, such as University of Nebraska.

How do I know if I qualify?

  • Determine Your Loan Eligibility: With your FSA ID, log into Visit Aid Summary (studentaid.gov/fsa-id/), scroll down to the Loan Breakdown Section, & view the types of loans you have. Four types of Direct Loans (further explained at studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans) include:
    • Direct Subsidized Loans
    • Direct Unsubsidized Loans
    • Direct PLUS Loans
    • Direct Consolidation Loans

How do I apply?

  • Apply for PLSF: Complete the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Certification & Application (studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/public-service-application-for-forgiveness.pdf). Provide the partially completed form to HR at UNObenefits@unomaha.edu for completion of Employer Section 3.
  • Fax the completed Public Service Loan Forgiveness Certification and Application form to MOHELA at 866.222.7060.
    • For assistance with completing the form, call 855.265.4038.

Additional Resources for Assistance

  • PSLF Help Tool (https://studentaid.gov/pslf/ )- use this tool to evaluate your eligibility for the program & generate the application. You will be required to create an account at https://studentaid.gov/
  • PSLF Program FAQs (https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service/questions)
