So I just recently was notified that after about a dozen years paying my student loans, working in higher ed, and being enrolled in the PSLF program, my (not small) debt has been forgiven. I’m still in shock. But I also want everyone to make sure they are enrolled if they can be.
I’m 33, vaccinated, athletic, overall healthy, and managed to avoid COVID for >2 years, but was hospitalized w/ severe COVID last week in Mexico City. Here are some things I learned 1/

@marisollebron But definitely push on - because I got it to work about a month ago. Full debt erasure. And it wasn’t small. Happy to try to help - also trying to get an op ed out there with some more details about the limited waiver, at least from my experience
