 Student Loan Forgiveness
and how NEA Member Benefits can help​

Student loan debt affects FWEA educators and our families. We all work to bargain salary, and it's critical that we work together to stretch that as far as we can.  In October 2021, after 48,000 NEA members advocated, there was a massive announcement expanding and improving Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). 

There is a new waiver to file by October, 31 2022 for this retroactive loan forgiveness. There is detailed information, FAQ and how-to's from NEA posted here.

The recording of the NEA PSLF Seminar is posted here.

The separate one-time student loan debt cancellation information is here. For this, you must apply by December 2023.

The SAVI navigator can help both ESPs and Certs with this!

We're not financial experts and cannot provide specific advice, but we can get you started with the tools to student loan forgiveness programs. We also host NEA Benefits seminars, and have posted the info from the seminars below.
