An Act increasing awareness of public student loan forgiveness

This bill requires state employees to receive training about federal student loan forgiveness. It mandates an annual training program and an online module during new employee onboarding to help workers understand eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The student loan ombudsman and human services division must coordinate this training. It directly affects all current and new state employees in Massachusetts. The policy change focuses on increasing awareness of existing federal loan forgiveness options through state-led education.
