Summary: The commenter provides suggestions on how to prevent fraud and abuse within the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. They recommend scrutinizing 501(c)3 organizations, student debt amounts, and the relationship between borrowers and non-profit directors.
You may already be doing this, but to prevent fraud and abuse in the PSLF program, be sure to scrutinize 501(c)3 organizations closely and examine the size of the student's debt and number of degrees they hold (e.g. does it really take over $400,000 in loans and six degrees to do their job?). In short, look for private inurement through PSLF on what are supposed to be non-profit organizations. There are currently students who pile on more than 4 or 5 degrees and take over $200,000 in loans - most of which goes in their pocket for other purposes, then seek a way to dump most of it on taxpayers through PSLF. Look at whether the borrower has verified earnings from the organization (is the borrower really working there for compensation or are they doing something else?). Look at the relationship they have with the organization’s principal directors (are they close family or friends?), the organization’s activities and mission (is there any evidence the organization is active?), how long they have been in existence, just to name a few examples.
