Urges President and Congress of United States to continue federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
New Jersey's Assembly Resolution AR 69 urges the federal government to continue the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program, which forgives student loans for public service workers after 120 qualifying payments. The resolution opposes the elimination of the program as proposed in the 2021 federal budget, noting that as of 2019, PSLF had forgiven $100 million for 1,565 public service workers in fields like teaching, firefighting, and healthcare. It does not change federal law but calls on the President and Congress to maintain the program, which requires full-time public sector employment and income-driven repayment plans. The resolution is non-binding and addresses the federal government to preserve a key incentive for public service careers.
