Student Loans

Staying true to our mission of supporting the financial well-being of our employees, we offer a Student Loan Interest Forgiveness Program for staff members.  Annually, we will reimburse qualifying employees for the interest payments made to their outstanding student loan debt under qualified Federal student loan programs. Eligibility requirements are as follows:

• Employees must be employed for a minimum of 12 consecutive months to qualify. (*Midwest/Blue Leaf staff will be eligible in 2024)

• Once the service requirement has been met, employees are eligible for reimbursement of qualifying student loan interest paid during the prior tax year up to be the below specified maximums.  (All payments made since inception of this program will count towards the lifetime maximum.)

• Employees are responsible for completing a request for reimbursement on an annual basis. Please complete this form by March 10, 2023. 

• Copies of annual tax forms or proof of interest paid to the Federal Student Loan program will be required for reimbursement.  (General Rule:  if you have a 1098-E issued in your name, that interest is reimbursable!  If you paid interest on a qualified student loan, but did not receive a 1098-E, fill out and submit a reimbursement form, and it will be reviewed for eligibility.)

• Reimbursement will be made annually each year at the end of March for the prior year's interest expenses. Staff will be reimbursed for their submission (up to the maximum) minus applicable taxes.

• Student loan debt and interest payments for an employee, spouse, or child may be eligible for reimbursement as long as the employee's name is on the 1098 tax document.

• Loans eligible for interest reimbursement include:

  • Federal Direct Loans

  • Direct Subsidized Loans

  • Direct Unsubsidized Loans

  • Direct PLUS Loans

  • Direct Consolidation Loans

  • Federal Perkins Loans

  • Private Student Loans

• Maximum Reimbursement Amounts. All payments made since inception of this program will count towards the lifetime maximum.
