AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Department of Education is updating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Temporary Expanded PSLF certification and application form. The revised form will add new certification language tied to recent legal changes and is being sent for emergency approval so it can be used by late June 2026. The main practical change is that employers connected to PSLF applications will need to attest, under penalty of perjury, that they have not engaged in activity with a substantial illegal purpose on or after July 1, 2026. The update also reflects changes to which student loan repayment plans can qualify for PSLF. Public service borrowers, employers, and loan servicers should expect revised paperwork and eligibility checks.
