- Because this group has more than 5,000 members, we can no longer email everyone at once. But if you sign up for the email list at http://IBRinfo.org, we can keep you up to date on important policy changes (e.g. when the Public Service Loan Forgiveness application becomes available). We promise we won't spam you or share your email address with anyone!
Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is a new way to make your federal student loan payments more manageable starting July 1 of this year. And if you're a teacher or work in government or at a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization, you might qualify for a new type of public service loan forgiveness after 10 years of eligible payments and employment.
To apply for IBR, contact your lender directly. If you have Direct Loans through the US Department of Education, start here:

If you do not know who is servicing your loan, check the National Student Loan Data System database:
