Hi there, my wife works for Western New England University in Springfield, MA.  We were wondering if employment at the University qualified her for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program? She has direct loans from her college years that we have used forbearance on until this point. Trying to choose the best repayment plan and strategy going forward.

Thanks!! Dave.

As long as the University is non-profit, you should be fine. The wiki page for Western New England University mentions it is non profit. You could dig in and verify that they are a 501c3. Or, you could call up the PSLF department at Fedloan servicing and see if they have the university in their database as a certified employer. Even if they don’t have it, it still can qualify, but you won’t know until you send in your forms.
