I finally got some good news. After a decade of non-profit work, after months of confusion on where I stood during a confusing period of transition with the Student Aid government site, I’ve now gotten the balance of my student loans forgiven. 🙂

Spent 47 infuriating minutes on the phone with Mohela regarding my #PublicServiceLoanForgiveness application and I hope for no outcome more for Mohela than that Cori Bush utterly destroys them.

That may sound like a recipe for a small state, but in practice "creating incentives" often involves building huge bureaucracies to "keep the incentives aligned" (that is, to prevent private firms from ripping off public agencies).

This is how we get "solutions" that fail catastrophically, like:

* #PublicServiceLoanForgiveness instead of debt cancellation and free college:

* The #GigEconomy instead of unions and minimum wages:

Why Your Employer is "Likely Ineligible" for PSLF

When the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Help Tool warns that your employer is likely ineligible for PSLF, it sounds like bad news, but it really isn't.

Navigating bankruptcy can be difficult, and courts require lawyers to provide transparent costs to clients. Many courts have adopted "no look" fees to simplify the process and allow for fair fees. #studentloans #PublicServiceLoanForgiveness #IncomeDrivenRepayment #studentdebt #REPAYE https://www.moneywiselaw.com/bankruptcy-legal-fees/

Why Bankruptcy Lawyers Should Be Transparent About Their Fees

Many bankruptcy lawyers won't quote legal fees before a first meeting. Bankruptcy attorney Jay Fleischman explains why - and shares his fees.

I have now passed 1 hour on hold to speak with a #Mohela agent about a question on my #StudentLoan #PublicServiceLoanForgiveness forms.

So, this all seems like it’s going great.

If Texas blocks my ability to pay back all of my student loans before I die I'm going to be mad at Texas for a long ass time

I'm looking into the Public Service Loan forgiveness thing as the waiver ends Halloween...but it requires 120 payments as a full time employee of a public or non-profit organization. I have made "payments" in that my IBR is set at $0/month as I earn so little...and I've never been full time. I kinda want to apply anyway and try my luck, but I dunno.
