hi - do you need to have quit your job to get your loans forgiven? my BF is still planning to return to work in the fall (he's a prof and advisor) in the advisor position. others will take over his class. where would i find out about the loan forgiveness? thank you!

ALSO, i work in financial aid (though not in loans), but i just helped a friend of mine whose brother is permanently disabled and still has an outstanding Sallie Mae (private) loan. i spoke to sallie mae and if you get proof of your disability with a doctor's letter indicating you will never be able to work again, they do indeed consider your request for forgiveness. sure, they are more hardass than the feds, but it also helps if you have proof that the fed loan was forgiven.

i am guessing that what you're talking about, fed loans being forgiven, means you can't be working?

i guess i could ask in my department...
