This webinar will review the updates to Federal Aid website which was redesigned with the intention of providing a one stop site for all of your federal aid needs. We will use the student loan repayment simulator to give you a more detailed and “real world” view of the student loan repayment options. Then we will briefly discuss the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, review the forms and highlight interesting facts about the program. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many changes nationwide, and federal student aid is no exception. As a result, we will discuss a few of the ways that the ongoing pandemic has affected loan repayment. Finally, we will review some of the proposed changes for student loan repayment. The webinar will close with a Q&A session.
