Student Loan Repayment Overview

Federal agencies are permitted to repay federally insured student loans as a recruitment or retention incentive for candidates or current employees of the agency. Student loan repayment is considered a selective benefit and agencies do not provide to every employee.

Student loans are eligible if they are insured by the federal government under the Higher Education Act of 1965 or the Public Health Service Act. Private student loans are NOT eligible for repayment. Please see the List of Student Loans Eligible for Repayment to determine if your loan is eligible.
