SAVE Plan Updates
Emails were recently sent by the U.S. Department of Education outlining activities that are occurring on your accounts. Activities to extend SAVE Plan recertification dates and forbearances are still pending implementation and MOHELA will notify you once they are complete. Please watch for more information.
Borrowers interested in earning PSLF and/or income-driven repayment credit and who meet the eligibility criteria can enroll in IDR plans other than SAVE. To learn more, visit studentaid.gov/loan-simulator.
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Buyback
Due to changes in PSLF regulations, you can now buy back certain months of your payment history to make them qualifying payments for PSLF. Specifically, you can buy back months that don’t count as qualifying payments because you were in an ineligible deferment or forbearance status.
You can buy back these months only if you still have an outstanding balance on your loan(s), you have approved qualifying employment for these same months, and buying back these months will complete your total of 120 qualifying PSLF payments.
Please note: The PSLF buyback program is managed by the U.S. Department of Education, not your loan servicer. To learn more about next steps, and general information on the program, visit Studentaid.gov/PSLFbuyback.
