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 <st1:date Year="2007" Day="1" Month="10" ls="trans" w:st="on">October
1, 2007</st1:date>. It is important to note that payments made after <st1:date
Year="2007" Day="1" Month="10" ls="trans" w:st="on">October 1, 2007</st1:date>
on <u>an existing loan</u> can count towards the 120 payments if the loan meets
certain criteria. For more information on the new law click here</span></font></b>
