Without PSLF, many public service professionals may be forced to forgo careers in public service and instead seek work in the private sector where they can earn enough to both support their families and pay back their student loans. This would create workforce shortages, leaving huge gaps in our communities—especially in rural and underserved areas.  

It is critical that you email your Members of Congress and urge them to contact House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Walberg and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Chairman Cassidy and ask them to pass a simple, straightforward fix: Any federal repayment plan authorized under the Higher Education Act should qualify for PSLF. You can send our pre-drafted email and personalize it with your story.
