New Call Center for the College Cost Reduction Act of 2007


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 Federal Student Aid Information Center is (800)
433-3243. 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.  For more information
