Special waiver applications for the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) must be submitted by the end of October with documentation from employers and an application for loan consolidation.
Adjuncts who may qualify for PSLF should make sure their federal student loans are in the process of being consolidated into the Direct Loan Program. They should begin submitting their application forms to CUNY campus HR departments to document public service. When requesting employment verification forms from HR, adjuncts should write a explanatory letter that documents by semester and year, courses taught in what department, including a calculation of hours taught. Additional PSLF resources for adjuncts and full-time CUNY employees can be found at the union’s webpage: psc-cuny.org/issues/public-service-loan-forgiveness-program/. The webpage includes webinars and links on how to apply.
