undergrad and graduate loan issues

I have been teaching since 2006 at Title I schools. 

1. I tried to get forgiveness with my undergrad and of course that lovely 1998 rule appeared and was denied.

2. Several years later I go to grad school. Get loans.  Pay off my undergrad loan while I am in grad school.

3.  Went to apply again for my grad school loans and since I paid off my undergrad after I took out loans for grad school I still don’t qualify. 

This is really hurting an entire generation of teachers who live through harsh times at Title 1 schools in hopes that a portion will get paid off. 

I really feel this needs to be addressed.  They are doing new configurations for millennials and I am not sure why this 1998 rule has to be there. 

Does anyone know why this on or before 1998 is so special?
Does anyone know a work around if I have my loans from 1998 paid off now, why can’t my grad school get paid off just because when I took out the loan I still had previous loans?
