New Research from Diego Briones: Learning from the PSLF Waiver

Diego Briones, a PhD candidate, published a brief on the Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) as part of Third Way's ACADEMIX Upshot series. In it, Briones highlights lessons learned from the Department of Education's year-long waiver that allowed borrowers to receive credit for past student loan repayments that normally would not qualify for PSLF, and provides a number of policy recommendations. This work drew on Briones' previous research with fellow graduate student Sasha Ruby and Professor Sarah Turner. The full report can be found on Third Way's website.
