The Current State of Student Debt and Forgiveness (NACo's Partnership with Savi Simplifies Student Debt Relief), a Public Promise Insurance Webinar
A webinar for HR and county leadership looking for ways to engage county employees
Did you know that over 9 million public service workers, including full-time county employees, are eligible for student debt forgiveness through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program? Yet, fewer than 2% have received relief, and only 15% have submitted the required forms to access this benefit
The real question is: Are they aware of it? Are they maximizing their student debt forgiveness?
Please join us as we speak with student debt forgiveness expert Tony Raffa, who will clear up much of the confusion over:
Executive orders and what they mean for employees
Changes in the Department of Education and its impact
Current student debt relief programs and who is eligible
Common issues with applying for and receiving student debt forgiveness
A new tool is available to help your employees calculate their potential student debt relief and cut through the red tape when applying
Show how the tool helps employees save an average of $2,244 a year, freeing up space for them to hit their financial goals
