<p>The National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) and the Project on Student Debt
have developed the <a href="http://www.studentloanborrowerassistance.org/">Student
Loan Borrower Assistance Project</a> that can help loan saddled social
workers and other borrowers to find out more information about the recently
passed College Cost Reduction and Access Act, among other student loan
related issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<h2>Student Loan Forgiveness<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p>The U.S. Department of Education has created a new call center for
borrowers to obtain information about the College Cost Reduction Act of 2007
(H.R. 2669). The number for the <strong>Federal Student Aid Information
Center is (800) 433-3243</strong>. The law forgives outstanding education
debt for those persons that meet the eligibility requirements. Those that would
benefit are employees that have made 120 monthly payments on their loans
while serving full-time in social work in public child or family service
agencies, government, nonprofit, military, education, and others areas. The
loan forgiveness provisions became effective on October 1, 2007. It is
important to note that payments made after October 1, 2007 on an existing
loan can count towards the 120 payments if the loan meets certain criteria.
