PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS SUPPORT
Oftentimes, employees perceive Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) as a simple form filing process, when in reality there are a myriad of rules and regulations that must be followed in order to qualify. In addition, the Department of Education has instituted a number of programs designed to minimize your monthly payments, while accelerating your time to loan forgiveness. To help you achieve loan forgiveness as quickly as possible, while making the lowest possible monthly payment, Denver Health has partnered with Tuition.io to provide start-to-finish guidance through PSLF. Benefits-eligible employees (and their family members) will have full access to student loan coaches and a treasure chest of student loan assistance tools and resources.
Eligible employees will receive a welcome email to sign up for these services. You may also contact support@tuition.io or 855-353-9395 for more information
Tuition Reimbursement
Denver Health recognizes the value and importance of an educated workforce. Benefits-eligible employees who have more than 90 days of employment may be eligible to apply for the tuition assistance and reimbursement program. Denver Health has expanded this policy in 2024 to include specific certifications eligible under this plan along with the ability to receive 50% advance payment for these certifications.
Check out the updated policy in Policy Stat for more details.
