Federal Student Aid
Summary: This official form is used by federal student loan borrowers to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) or Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) and to certify their qualifying employment.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification & Application form (OMB No. 1845-0110) is the standard document required for borrowers to request loan forgiveness or to track their progress toward the 120 qualifying payments required for the program. The document outlines borrower requirements, including full-time employment with a qualifying organization, and provides sections for employer certification. It also details alternative documentation procedures for cases where employer certification is unavailable. The Department of Education recommends using the online PSLF Help Tool at StudentAid.gov/pslf for automated processing.
