Maximizing Student Loan Forgiveness with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program

The May Financial Counseling call with AFCPE and FPA will be held on Thursday, May 19th at 12 pm ET.

Guest speaker Adam Hagerman, will be presenting "Maximizing Student Loan Forgiveness with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program."

With student loan debt surpassing $1.5 trillion, borrowers are looking for any way to ease their burden, including the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. Over the years PSLF has become more complex, with new income-driven repayment plans that are more confusing than helpful. Navigating to the correct repayment plan can require a range of high-level personal finance skills, including projecting your tax-filing status for the next 10 years, ensuring you have the right type of loans, possibly consolidating one type of loan but not another, and more. By knowing the intricacies of the PSLF program, financial professionals can help their clients maximize their forgiveness and avoid the many pitfalls of the PSLF program.

Adam Hagerman, CFP®, AFC® has been providing financial coaching and education to civilian and military employees of the National Security Agency for close to 10 years. With many employees carrying student loan debt, Adam has become well versed in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and the various opportunities to maximize forgiveness. To date, Adam has helped set up dozens of employees for an estimated $4 million+ in projected PSLF forgiveness.
