Currently, teachers may participate in the teacher only federal SSLF program that provides between 5017 thousand in loan forgiveness after five years in the classroom. Alternatively, teachers may choose to participate in the federal PSLF program, which discharges any remaining debt after ten years of public service.

That means that after serving five years in the classroom and receiving debt relief through the SSLF, they must serve another ten years before qualifying for loan discharge under PSLF. (01:27–01:38)
