Include government contractors in the eligible persons that can benefit from public service loan forgiveness program.

Created by D.M. on April 24, 2015

At present government contractors which most of the time work for a for profit company are not eligible for the public service loan forgiveness program, that allows a graduate to have his student loans after 10 years of payment forgiven. The fact that they work for a for profit company which is what most companies that contract through the government are basically disqualifies them. With the government outsourcing so many jobs to contractors now I think they should be included since they are doing some of the same jobs as the direct hires do but get none of the benefits.
