Join me in this episode as we delve into the PSLF waiver report card. While I\'m thrilled to see a growing number of individuals in our community receive forgiveness through the PSLF waiver, the low 20% success rate highlights the confusion borrowers face in determining where to apply and which loans to consolidate.

I\'ll then draw a comparison between the PSLF waiver and the student loan forgiveness initiative, which boasted a much higher 60% take-up rate and a simplified application process.\\xa0

Finally, we\'ll assess the successes and disappointments of the Biden administration\'s student loan relief initiatives to date.
