LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
The proposal would only apply to loans originated after July 2020 (it's obviously bad nonetheless, but wouldn't fuck anyone currently out of school and on the path towards PSLF).

While minimally related to the thread topic here, this doesn’t belong here. If you have questions about the nuts and bolts of repayment and forgiveness programs as currently constituted, it belongs here. Discussion of political candidates and their particular policy stances have several threads in the lounge where this can be discussed.
Consider this your warning.

Yeah, looks like it's still positive-amortized (which makes it a little less awesome that clerkships and fellowships are covered) but in all other respects it seems comparable to the rest of the T6 now.

FYI all - the CARES Act (signed by the president on 3/27) makes some changes that affect PSLF.
In sum, everyone with federal loans will automatically go on forebearance until Sept 30, 2020. All monthly payments that would have qualified during this period will still be counted for PSLF purposes. This is a change to the ordinary rule that months on foreberance DO NOT count to PSLF. A friend of mine who works at DOEd posted about this and I double checked to ensure that is indeed the case. Below is the language from the CARES Act and a link to the page with the full law.

Anyone have some solid advice on what to do when you leave PSLF jobs?
Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
In what sense? Other than making sure that someone fills out the appropriate form so you can certify it was a qualifying job, there isn’t anything to do.

I mean when you leave it for good. I was 2.5 years in and left for private practice during the pandemic. I normally would be doing my annual certification pretty soon, my deadline is sometime in October.
Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
Not sure people in this thread who are relying on LRAP/IBR/PSLF are much help on what to do when you leave it for good. Pay off your loans I guess? I think you want some of the general finance threads.
Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
I mean you don't need 120 consecutive qualifying payments. Sounds like you had 30. you can return and get the other 90 at a later point in time and qualify. otherwise. assuming you were in an IBR plan and your debt negatively amortized, you can either now pay more than you would have to pay it all off, or you can do the johann and ride our REPAYE/PAYE

Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
Why does everyone hate on riding out REPAYE, even if you're not eligible for PSLF? Seems like that's definitely the right move unless you're in biglaw.
Re: LRAP/IBR/PSLF. How does it work? Let's find out!
Because people don't want 1) debt following them for 20-15 years (I can't remember which it is now), and/or 2) to pay the taxes on what gets forgiven.
I mean, I can see why people do it (and if PSLF fails maybe I will, too), but it's not perfect at all.

20 or 25 years depending on the program, but yeah that tax bill is the primary issue beyond paying.
