I'm part of the teacher loan program and I wanted to know if I can receive loan forgiveness or not.
Of course. You can potentially receive forgiveness under both the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, but not for the same period of teaching service.
Well, what if I complete five years of qualifying teaching and then I get forgiveness of my Direct Loans?
If you complete five consecutive years of qualifying teaching and receive forgiveness of your Direct Loans under the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program, any payments you made on your Direct Loans during that five-year period can not be counted toward the required 120 monthly payments for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
Alright, that makes sense. And what if I'm applying for forgiveness of loans from different loan servicers?
In that case you must submit a separate form to each of them.
But I can receive forgiveness, right? I mean, if I'm under the teacher loan forgiveness program.
Yes, you can potentially receive forgiveness under both the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, but not for the same period of teaching service.
What do I need to do to receive public service loan forgiveness then?
You would need to make 120 more qualifying monthly payments.
That's a lot, but it's fair enough. Can you tell me more about the teacher loan forgiveness and the benefits of the AmeriCorps program, please?
Are you an AmeriCorps Program volunteer?
Then a period of teaching that qualifies you for a benefit through the AmeriCorps Program can not be counted toward the required five consecutive years of teaching for the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program.

Ok, thanks. What will they need to fill out on it?
Also, I need to know if I have to have both parents fill it out. My parents are divorced and I live with my dad and won't see my mom in person until the summer.
They can be listed as divorced on the form. You should have your father fill out information on the form since you live with him the majority of the time.
Oh, that could be a problem. I don't think my dad wants to put any of his information on the form. I tried to tell him it was for college but he worries about having his private information in the hands of a stranger and he won't fill out my form. What do I do?
You can go to the myStudentAid app and there will be an option under a list of special circumstances to check if your parents refuses to provide the information needed.
My friend is also filling out a form and wants to know what to do if their parents were never married, if that makes any difference.
They would still be your friend's parents regardless of marital status, so your friend should still try to fill out the form with their help.
You said there were special circumstances to not filling out the parent part. What are they?
