Hi everyone,
I've been going for PSLF since residency and have about 4.5 years left (eligible Sept 2021), so was alarmed and then subsequently relieved when reading about the new budget proposal. Big thanks to those who did some legwork on the actual document language to find that grandfathering looks to be in order!
So with a paranoid state of mind, I've been going back and reading my original loan MPN and the PSLF FAQs to see if there's any way I can try to prevent being disqualified from forgiveness, when I realized that there is no exact wording (to my knowledge) that states a 1099 independent contractor does or does not qualify for PSLF. I've been working for a county hospital since graduating residency as a 1099 sole proprietor thinking that it qualifies as government/non-profit employment, but technically I'm not "employed" by the county. My ECF's have all been approved thus far, but as we learned from the lawyers suing Dept of Ed, the forms probably can't be relied on.
Will this ultimately disqualify my eligibility? The wording is somewhat vague, but as far as I can tell, as long as you work 30hr/week for a government/non-profit, you should qualify. Am I interpreting that correctly? Thanks for your help.
