NYC Student Debt Clinic
Start: Wednesday, September 16, 2015• 6:00 PM
Are you currently paying off federal student loans?
Do you wish you could cut your student loan payments or eliminate them altogether?
As part of our partnership with the Jobs with Justice Campaign for a Debt-Free Future, CWA Next Generation will co-sponsor a free event for CWA members who are burdened by student debt. Locals 1180 and 1102 will co-host the event.
Wondering if you qualify?
Are some or all of your loans issued by the Department of Education (i.e., are they federal loans)?
Private loans through banks and credit unions are not eligible, but the vast majority of loans are federal loans. If you’re not sure what kind of loan you have, visit: http://nslds.ed.gov/. Log in and the site will list your federal loans.
Do you work in public service for government, emergency services, public health organizations, or public schools?
Public Service Loan Forgiveness could eliminate your direct federal student loans entirely after 120 on-time payments. An estimated 33 million Americans are eligible for student debt forgiveness—and very few know about this program.
CWA members aged 35 and younger* with a current federal student loan may attend this clinic to learn how to lower or eliminate monthly payments. This could put more money in your pocket every month!
Space is limited, so register today!
* This is a pilot project with limited seating. Depending on the response, we may organize more clinics in the future and make them available to all members with federal student loans.
