Eligibility: Public Student Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) is a Federal Student Aid program. To determine if an employee qualifies, the employee will need to contact Federal Student Aid. UVA HR is unable to determine whether individuals will qualify, but can provide the form to employees verifying the dates and hours they have worked for UVA. This information does not guarantee that their PSLF will be accepted by Federal Student Aid.
HR’s Role: HR can complete PSLF forms for employees who have been paid through UVA's FInance department. If you are a contracted employee or are not paid through UVA Finance, HR cannot verify employment. If you had a change in hours, then the verifying party must submit more than one PSLF form to reflect each change. HR can only verify using information found in UVA's Workday, Oracle or Peoplesoft systems.
Filing Paper Form Requests: The paper PSLF forms requests must be submitted electronically to AskHR@virginia.edu. They cannot be completed in person. Managers must not attempt to complete these forms. Employees must leave their SSN and date of birth off the form initially. Once the employer section of the form is completed by UVA HR, it will be returned to the employee via email. It is the employee’s responsibility to ensure the form is fully completed before submitting to Federal Student Aid.
Filing Electronic Form Requests: The electronic PSLF forms can be submitted by the employee through the Federal Student Aid website. More information can be found about the process by choosing “Loan Forgiveness” from the top menu or the link in the “Popular Topics.”
Federal Student Aid will ask for an employer email to send these forms to. Please have them sent to AskHR@virginia.edu, as they will come to UVA Human Resources through its email by DocuSign. HR can make adjustments to the dates of employment if they are incorrect. However, if the hours worked are incorrect, HR cannot adjust them, and an email will be sent to the employee requesting a correction be made.
Similarly, if there had been a change in the number of hours worked during the employee’s tenure, more than one form will need to be submitted. Due to the volume of these requests, HR is unable to email employees directly to verify their form has been completed.
If employees are submitting their form electronically, verify directly with Federal Student Aid that the form has been completed. There have been instances where the DocuSign email from HR has expired, or the link has been rescinded. In these cases, HR is unable to see who the employee is that is making the request; therefore, we are unable to let them know there was a problem with the form.
