What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Public Service Loan Forgiveness Payment Completion Fairness Act," aims to change how eligibility is determined for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. It seeks to ensure that borrowers who have performed qualifying public service are eligible for forgiveness. To achieve this, the bill amends Section 455(m)(1)(B) of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The amendment specifically strikes certain language regarding current employment and replaces it with different requirements.
