Public service employees who work for a local, state, or federal government or work for certain non-profits, may qualify for special loan repayment waivers. For a limited time, student loan borrowers may be able to get credit for past payments that don’t qualify under the normal PSLF rules. These temporary changes expire on Oct. 31.
