The PSLF was designed to encourage careers in public service by providing for loan forgiveness after ten years,\u201d said Joseph Kenney, a partner at Sauder Schelkopf LLC who is suing on the borrowers\u2019 behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that these individuals have fulfilled their obligations, they should receive the benefits promised by PSLF.\u00a0 Instead, due to no fault of their own, they are now being forced to make extra loan payments,\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n<p>The PSLF program has long been chastised by borrowers and advocates for difficulties receiving relief once individuals me the requirements. MOHELA warned last year that processing applications would take longer because of changes the White House made that allowed more borrowers to qualify for relief. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Hill has reached out to MOHELA and the Department of Education for comments. \u00a0\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
