If it's a public school you're eligible regardless of the school's income level.
This is not what we have been told by our school board and the PSLF. What we have been told is that the school must be a Title I school and not all public schools are Title I. If I am wrong, I have been told wrong.

PSLF is for any public (fed/state/local) employee. What you're referring to is the federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness program, which requires you to be employed in a Title I school.

I support cuts to waste, not programs like this or cutting medical research
Some of this is waste to me.
So if we only cut what is waste to everyone, nothing will get cut.

Waste is continuing to spend money in Syria or Afghanistan. Waste is continuing and INCREASING the war on drugs. Etc

FWIW I wouldn't freak out about this because budgets are basically just signaling at this point, I doubt Congress will gut it. We all saw what happened last time when Trump proposed cutting NEA/PBS, soaked up some good press from his base, and then Congress patted him on the head and said "that's nice dear."

Yeah, I don't actually believe this will see the light of day.
But it being discussed is pretty bad optics. This isn't just red meat for the base. It turns off a swath of people regardless of political affiliation.

Damn I knew that
I was thinking PSLF is what we are under but its not it is TLFP. This still makes me wonder if PSLF is cut (which is still a horrible idea) will the TLFP be next. Posted on 5/18/17 at 1:02 pm to NIH

Yes, and there is more waste than that. Some of it is found in this proposal.
You were full throated trumpkin when you thought he was going to frick someone else's wallet, but based on your posts in this thread it appears this is going to hit your wallet.
Where's your Trump wrestling gif, now?

You sure about that?

I'm sure it will make me leave my hospital serving an underprivileged area, 100%.

Your earlier post said that you and your wife had taught for five years, if that's the case you should be having your remaining loan balance forgiven right about now:
quote:
The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program is intended to encourage individuals to enter and continue in the teaching profession. Under this program, if you teach full-time for five complete and consecutive academic years in certain elementary and secondary schools and educational service agencies that serve low-income families, and meet other qualifications, you may be eligible for forgiveness of up to a combined total of $17,500 on your Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and your Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans. If you have PLUS loans only, you are not eligible for this type of forgiveness.

Well then we are in the PSLF because we were told after 10 years its pays everything else off where as TLFS only pays 17500 and both my wife and I owe more than that each.

So, are you going to address this on the merits or resort to personal attacks?
Posted on 5/18/17 at 1:20 pm to NIH
The merits are that I don't have a problem with some cuts to the loan service program and the pit of federal education programs. What you should realize is that it's Trump. Doesn't he ask for about three times what he really wants? He knows this is going to have every congressional dog lift it's leg on it.
Now, to be fair, for most of the election you were tossing out "cuck" with regularity in your posts to others. Now, though, when something might hit your wallet, the merits need to be discussed only.

I wonder if it's possible to take advantage of both programs .

Why not do the smart thing and do something about the ridiculously inflated tuition prices?

$1,000 a month between a couple ain't much compared to a lot of professionals.

I've been plenty critical of Trump dating back to the campaign. Don't let that sour your vindetta, though.
