Strengthening Loan Forgiveness for Public Service Workers Act

This bill creates a new loan forgiveness program for public service workers with federal student loans taken out after its enactment. It provides 15% forgiveness after 24 months of qualifying public service employment, with additional 15% increments at 48, 72, and 96 months, totaling 100% forgiveness after 120 months (10 years) of service. Only borrowers with new federal Direct Loans made after the bill passes qualify, and the bill simplifies employment certification through self-certification forms or automatic verification. Interest accrued during the application process is also canceled.
