    How it’ll work

    • The U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) has created a short online application for student debt relief. You won’t need to upload any supporting documents or use your FSA ID to submit your application.
    • Once you submit your application, The USDOE will review it, determine your eligibility for debt relief, and work with your loan servicer(s) to process your relief. The USDOE will contact you if they need any additional information from you.

Make sure you work only with the U.S. Department of Education, its loan servicers, or your school and never reveal your personal information or account password to anyone.
