Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

As a CSU employee, please be aware that you may qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)—a federal program created for those in public service jobs which offers employees of (1) government, not-for-profit organizations and (2) private not-for-profit organizations that provide certain public services the opportunity to have their federal loan balances forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments.

The California State University is a qualified employer for the PSLF program and many full-time CSU employees may therefore be eligible to certify employment and receive credit for payments made toward forgiveness. This program has been available to qualified individuals since 2007. 

As a reminder, we ask that your forms not be emailed as they contain your social security number. Please submit your PSLF employer certification request to the Benefits secure Dropbox folder.
