Requires public service employer to certify employment of qualifying employees under federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program; requires Secretary of Higher Education to develop materials to promote Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
This New Jersey bill requires public service employers (like schools, local governments, and public libraries) to certify employees' eligibility for the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. It specifically mandates that educators receive credit for 3.35 hours worked per hour of classroom time when calculating full-time status for loan forgiveness purposes. The bill also directs the state’s Secretary of Higher Education to create and distribute plain-language materials explaining the program to all public service employees annually. These materials include standardized letters, fact sheets, and FAQs to help employees navigate the federal program. The law directly affects public sector workers with federal student loans seeking forgiveness after 10 years of qualifying service.
