Listening and Strategy Sessions (Copy)
At the Student Loan Fund (SLF), we advocate and organize to cancel student debt and end the profit-driven higher education system by creating access to well-funded free state and community colleges. Last year, we made great strides on local and national issues impacting student loan borrowers. But the fight isn't over! Many of you are now back in "repayment" after years of a pause. We're all feeling the impact on our budgets. To continue to do our work, we need CT student loan borrowers like you who are impacted by the student debt crisis.
This winter, we are holding a series of listening sessions, in person and virtually, to hear directly from borrowers about the issues impacting you most.
Have you been denied your PSLF? Do you hold debt to your college or institution that keeps you from completing your degree? Do you need help paying down your balance? When you think of your student debt, what's keeping you up at night?
Join us as we learn from each other's stories about student debt and how to wield our indebtedness as a source of collective power through organizing and movement-building.
*Food and childcare will be provided.

Understanding the IDR One Time Adjustment with TISLA
"Last year, the Department of Education (ED) announced that they would be implementing a one-time account adjustment for all eligible federal student loans. This adjustment would potentially give credit under the forgiveness component of the income-driven plans and in some cases, Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). This adjustment could be particularly valuable to those borrowers who have been paying their student loans for a long time, or who may have missed out on the recently PSLF waiver due to having Parent Plus loans or simply having missed the deadline.
Join Department of Education Senior Advisor Ashley Harrington and nationally recognized student loan expert Betsy Mayotte for this free one-hour session that will help you understand how to ensure you receive the maximum benefits from this one-time adjustment. The session will cover the pros and cons of consolidation related to this adjustment and PSLF, how to maintain your IDR forgiveness track once the adjustment is completed, and the effect on Parent Plus borrowers in particular."
If you cannot attend, please don't register as space is limited. We WILL be posting a recording of the session.
We will only be discussing the rules about the IDR one-time adjustment, including how it dovetails with PSLF. We will not be discussing or answering questions about anything else, including the Biden/Harris debt relief or the proposed changes to REPAYE or PSLF. This is due to the one-hour time constraints on this session.
The session is free, and you can register here.
