@Kerr_Kurr I can’t imagine what you must be feeling. I am so very sorry to hear this news and will pray for you and your family.

@jennifer_loving @ronlieber I have cried off and on all day. Between classes of course. 😂

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@Stdentloanhellp @ronlieber Thank you.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@TheRealAurelius @ronlieber I enrolled about five years ago, but have been in various payment plans before that. I figured I had about six more years of PSLF before I was finally done, and scarcely dared to hope it’d actually happen. So this is huge for me. Huge.

@toyosky4real @ronlieber Thank you so much. I wish this for everyone. The burden of student debt is real, and soul-crushing.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@Di1358 @ronlieber Aw thank you.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@abigaillorrie @ronlieber I’m still in shock.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@usedgov Thank you so much.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@barryrothschild BIG Congrats to you. This is exactly my story too. Driving into work this morning (I’m a teacher) I was thinking of the payments kicking back up in May. Driving home, I was realizing how those huge payments are not coming back. Life-changing.

@JB_HISD_Theatre @ronlieber Hi, thank you! I’ve been making payments under the PSLF program for about five years. I’ve been a teacher for twenty years, though, so they went back into my entire history when assessing my status under the waiver. It’s been such a burden. I am still in shock.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@ronlieber @actnowforward Thank you.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@ronlieber Thanks so much. I’m not on Twitter much these days but when this happened, I figured I’d look and see if others got this notification today. It’s such a thrill to see so many people in this boat. This has been my albatross for so many years. I still can’t believe it.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@actnowforward @ronlieber Same here. I was in the exact same boat and got the notice today that the rest of my loan was forgiven. I still had sixty payments or so, but they counted previous payments and said I’d “satisfied my obligation.” It feels like a dream. Congratulations to you.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@swellmelwells Same boat. Same story. Congrats.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@JulieJJohnson1 @usedgov Mine were too, and now I’m just seeing all these happy tweets. Im speechless.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@Claytonsaurus Me too! Me too! Can barely speak.

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@readingvan Me too! Me too! Me too! I’m crying!

[Jill Shoffiett @JShoffiett]

@MichaelSalamone I am sending good thoughts your way!
