College federal loan/working for non-profit

My daughter works for Vista (Americorp) They pay a set amount of her college loans after a year of working. What is paid, deffered or written off depends on who you work with. The military paid off the ex's school loans.

eta: your daughter's employee information should have the specifics spelled out in the benefits section.

Here ya go

It's not immediate. She has to make sure her employer fits the requirements, she has to work there for a while, and she has to make 120 on time payments. Individual employers may have their own program, but this is the federal program.

ETA: I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that any amount forgiven is then considered income by the IRS. At least that's what I remember learning when looking into this for myself. 

To answer your questions on AmeriCorps. I was a member for over a year and it was best thing! I wanted to go into the PeaceCorp but since I had children it was not an option for me. So AmeriCorp was perfect. It was a wonderful experience and I met some wonderful people. I say go for it! Feel free to message me if you have any questions. 

Any AmeriCorps or Vista member can have their student loans deferred due to their participation in National Service. I was an AmeriCorps member and a Vista as was my daughter. The orientation should have taught them how to defer their loans for the duration of their service. If not, look at myamericorps.gov for more information or simply call them. I still have like 3k of Vista money to use for my college classes. My daughter will graduate from college soon and has used the money for her books, health fees, etc. message me if you need more info.

At the time of my divorce, my ex had been paying on student loans for at least 20 years, and still owed well over $50,000, possibly over $60,000, I can't remember anymore. He truly believed that he was never going to be able to pay them off. There was a time that the student loan payment was higher than our mortgage. I know it made him feel trapped and hopeless.

I'm in some librarian groups where the loan forgiveness thing is discussed. It's my understanding that many loans don't qualify. Definitely look into the guidelines - maybe your daughter's school could provide some guidance.

I heard of student loans being forgiven if the person goes into public service. For example, law enforcement, firefighting and nursing. 120 payments with no missed or late payments was a requirement.

I just enrolled, having worked in government, and now non-profit. Just be sure you don't get snowed by a service that want's to charge you for the service.

I had my employers complete the form, I faxed it in and received the reply by mail. The Fed loan people will manage your loan and track the payments. I think I am just at the cusp of the first group of this program as I graduated college (late in life) in 2007.
