‘Can I cancel my student debt?’ MEA can help you find out.

Do you have questions about the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program? MEA is hosting monthly virtual events to help you learn more and find out if you’re eligible for student loan forgiveness.

The webinars will be held via Zoom. Here’s a schedule of upcoming sessions:

  • Wednesday, April 20 at 4 p.m.
  • Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m.
  • Wednesday, June 22 at 10 a.m.

UPDATE: These three Zooms are all at maximum capacity. We are planning future zooms — if you’re interested in being put on a list for them, contact the MEA Help Center at help@mea.org. 

Thanks to the advocacy of our union, the Biden Administration has made dramatic changes to the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. These changes may help you if you work full-time for a school district or higher education institution and you have federal Direct Loans or consolidate into the Direct Loan program by Oct. 31.

For more information, call 866-MEA-HELP, email help@mea.org, or visit https://mea.org/studentdebt.
