I am considering taking a new job with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). I am not sure that it will qualify for public service student loan forgiveness. Here is what I have found so far.

The OCTA Website states “OCTA is an independent special district government agency.”

Do you have an opinion one way or the other weather this new job will qualify me for public service student loan forgiveness?

Thanks,

Hello Redbeard.  As you may already know, Public Service Loan Forgiveness is earned by making payments.  A borrower has to make the right kind of payments, on the right kind of loans, while working in the right kind of job.  For more about that, start by reading through Public Service Loan Forgiveness in 5 Easy Steps and the other one-pagers on our tools page under Essential Tools for Student Loan Borrowers: http://askheatherjarvis.com/tools.

There is also an online Employment Certification process you ought to pursue: http://askheatherjarvis.com/blog/3-new-documents-everyone-in-government-and-nonprofit-services-needs-right-n.

And thanks for your public service!  Let me know if other questions come up.
