Can a private, not-for-profit employer that is not tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code qualify as a public service organiz
Yes. If the not-for-profit employer provides one or more of the following public services:
• Emergency management,
• Military service,
• Public safety,
• Law enforcement,
• Public interest law services,
• Early childhood education (including licensed or regulated childcare, Head Start, and statefunded
pre-kindergarten),
• Public service for individuals with disabilities and the elderly,
• Public health (including nurses, nurse practitioners, nurses in a clinical setting, and full-time
professionals engaged in health care practitioner occupations and health care support
occupations),
• Public education,
• Public library services, or
• School library or other school-based services.
However, if the organization is a labor union or a partisan political organization it is not an eligible
PSLF employer.
