AR 103 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges President and Congress of United States to continue federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.

This is a New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 103), not a bill with binding effect. It urges the U.S. President and Congress to continue the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program, opposing its proposed elimination in the 2021 federal budget. The PSLF Program, established in 2007, forgives student loans for public servants (like teachers, firefighters, and social workers) after 120 on-time payments under income-driven repayment plans while working full-time for government or non-profits. The resolution cites data showing 1,565 borrowers received $100 million in forgiven debt as of 2019, emphasizing the program's role in recruiting public sector employees.
