Borrowers enrolled in Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans or Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) should monitor their servicer portals closely. A significant data reconciliation window is projected for Wednesday, February 18 through Sunday, February 22.

The Department of Education is anticipated to push updated “payment count” adjustments during this timeframe. This backend processing is critical for borrowers waiting for credit toward forgiveness milestones. While not every account will see immediate changes, checking your dashboard during this specific window is recommended to catch any new “qualifying payment” tallies.
Disclaimer: Account adjustments are ongoing and occur in batches. Timelines are projections and may vary by loan servicer.
