Student Debt Resources
Among the proudest moments of AFT that you may not have heard about is the successful lawsuit against the DeVos Department of Education that dramatically expanded access to Public Service Loan Forgiveness. AFT Washington has been tireless in spreading the message that more of our members now qualify and are having their student debt extinguished. And our members have even come together to get legislation passed at the state level to expand access even more, including for adjuncts.
We want to hear from you about progress towards student debt forgiveness.
We will be circulating a survey soon to learn more about your situation with debt elimination, and we will have more information about the Biden administration's $10,000-$20,000 debt relief program very soon. In the meantime, we want to provide you with useful resources and create a central clearinghouse for debt management and repayment.
Plus! We're still offering our student debt clinics to help you with resources and strategies for both Public Service Loan Forgiveness and debt repayment. Our next debt clinic will be held via Zoom on Thursday, September 15 at 5pm. You can register here: https://leadernet.aft.org/webform/student-loan-debt-clinic-sept-15-2022.
