Bill overview
This bill, the Strengthening Efforts for Relief and Vital Incentives for Community Service and Engagement Act (SERVICE Act), aims to improve the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. It reduces the number of qualifying monthly payments required for loan forgiveness from 120 to 96, expands the types of payments, deferments, and forbearances that count, and removes the requirement that borrowers must be employed in a public service job at the time of forgiveness. The bill also establishes a reconsideration process for denied applications and prohibits interest capitalization. It includes provisions for an online portal, a database of public service jobs, and allows teachers to use the same teaching service for both the Teacher Loan Forgiveness program and PSLF.
