ON DEMAND: Federal Student Loans: Repayment and Cancellation Options

Class recorded September 8, 2023

What kinds of student loans do I have? What rights, responsibilities, and risks come with them? What options might be available for working toward cancellation of my federal student loans, and what actions do I need to take NOW to take advantage of them?

It is important to understand how student loans work so you can avoid problems in the future and work toward repayment or cancellation.  This class will provide information on how to identify what kind of student loans you have and how to assess your repayment and cancellation options.  It will also provide an overview of several time-limited initiatives the federal government has announced for federal student loan borrowers including cancellation, Fresh Start, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) waiver, and the Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) account adjustment.
