I am not eligible for the Teacher Loan Forgiveness program because I had student loans prior to the cutoff date (1998) and prior to beginning my teacher certification/degree program. I have called and emailed individuals in the Education Dept. as to the significance of the cutoff date. I was told the date was set at the federal level. I would definitely sign a petition to have that date rolled back or remove the cutoff date altogether. Anyone else interested? Melody are you still out there?
