Department of Education Launches Beta Testing of Website for Student Loan Forgiveness Applications
The Department of Education launched a beta test of its website Friday allowing federal student loan borrowers to begin submitting applications for some debt relief.
Applications won’t be processed until the site officially launches later this month, but borrowers who submit an application during the beta testing period will not need to reapply, an Education Department spokesperson said.
“This testing period will allow the department to monitor site performance through real-world use, test the site ahead of the official application launch, refine processes, and uncover any possible bugs prior to official launch,” the spokesperson said.
