Heather, the US Attorney’s Office has a program called the Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (see below for details).  The government basically pays $6,000 of your loans a year for a max of $60,000.  If I intend to get my loans forgiven under PSLF, will payments I apply to my loans where the money came from this program derail me?  Or is it okay?  Thank you for your help!!

Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (ASLRP) - The Department of Justice administers a program that allows the repayment of certain types of Federal student loans as a recruitment or retention incentive for highly qualified attorneys in exchange for a service obligation of at least three years. Qualifying employees are eligible for up to $6,000 per calendar year subject to a lifetime maximum of $60,000. Each attorney requesting consideration for the ASLRP must submit a request with proper documentation; a Department-level panel makes final selections.
