PSLF Limited Waiver Opportunity

Making PSLF History for Physicians: The Limited Waiver Opportunity

Under the LWO, those in full-time non-profit work can qualify for PSLF regardless of the payment plan they have been on, and most types of federal loans now qualify. Physician borrowers just need to take steps to convert their old loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan and submit a PSLF form to their employer before the period ends in October. Physicians with fewer than 120 payments have an extra step. You will need to get on an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan for your remaining payments to qualify.
