Penn Medicine employees who have made 10 years’ worth of qualifying, direct student loan payments (120 total payments) while working for the government or nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). This federal program may reduce or eliminate federal student loan debt for employees who work full-time in public service. Eligibility for the PSLF programs depends on several factors, and the process is often difficult to navigate.
PeopleJoy provides customized, actionable counseling for employees hoping to qualify for PSLF. The interactive PeopleJoy platform identifies the best repayment plans for student loans, and eligible employees will have the opportunity to work with student loan experts who can advocate on their behalf and ensure optimal repayment programs are in place.
