Student Loan Forgiveness Some follow-ups to members regarding the Student Loan Forgiveness workshop the NTA hosted on October 13. The deadline for applying for public service loan forgiveness under the new guidelines is October 31st.HR has to verify your employment as part of the application. They have asked that you submit your application form to them by the end of the day on October 24 to insure that they will be able to return to form in time for you to submit it before the deadline. Anything you fill out by hand on the form must be in "dark ink," that is black ink. Don't sign the form with blue ink. If you were not able to attend the workshop, Cambridge Credit Counseling also presented a similar virtual workshop for the Arlington and Belmont Education Associations.
