Some borrowers are not aware of the government’s loan forgiveness program because, in many cases, the Department of Education and the loan servicer fail to adequately【C15】______ them of it. Those who do know of it have told us of their difficulties【C16】______ trying to meet its requirements.
Take Lisa Oelfke, a health policy analyst in Maryland, who repeatedly got【C17】______ information from her student-loan servicer. She made three years of【C18】______ she thought were qualifying payments under the program, only【C19】______ that she was not enrolled in a qualifying repayment plan, 【C20】______ having submitted forms to certify her work in public service.
