[Please email Education Secretary Miguel Cardona right now and ask for the Limited PSLF Waiver deadline to be extended.]( [TAKE ACTION ➤]( The PSLF program allows educators and other public service workers to apply for student loan forgiveness after working in public service for 10 years. Here’s the problem: During the Trump/DeVos administration, applications for PSLF were rejected based on small technicalities, denying educators of the student loan relief they were promised in exchange for their hard work in public schools.

After listening to educators, Secretary Cardona and the Biden Administration put the Limited PSLF Waiver in place, widening the criteria for the program so that more applications were approved. The Limited Waiver has helped deliver $10 billion in student loan forgiveness for public-service workers over the past nine months. The temporary changes to the PSLF program expire at the stroke of midnight on October 31. We’ve been working around the clock to get as many educators as possible to sign up, but we simply need more time. Here’s what you can do: [Send an email to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and ask that he extend the PLSF waiver deadline.]( even drafted a sample message for you, that you’re welcome to change.
