A 2369 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State agencies to enroll State employees into federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.

This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to automatically enroll full-time employees with qualifying federal student loans into the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. It mandates agencies to identify eligible employees using a state-federal database match (via the Department of Education) and update enrollment when employees transfer between agencies. Qualified employees must meet federal PSLF criteria, including working full-time for a qualifying employer (like state agencies) while making qualifying loan payments. The law takes effect immediately, ensuring state employees can access federal loan forgiveness without additional application steps.
