On Thursday, Nov. 4,  U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will travel to Manchester, New Hampshire, to speak  with veterans about transformational changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. Last  month,  the Department announced an overhaul of the PSLF Program that will restore its promise and provide  debt relief to public  service workers including  service members and veterans. The  latest updates to the program will  eliminate barriers for  military service members to  receive PSLF.  Additionally, the newly  implemented PSLF Waiver will  result in at least 22,000 borrowers who have consolidated  loans—including previously ineligible loans—being immediately eligible for  $1.74 billion in forgiveness without the need for further action on their part. Secretary Cardona will tour Manchester  Community College, then speak with members of the veteran community about the  benefits of the updated PSLF program.
