In case you missed it last night, the Department of Education opened up the Student Loan Forgiveness application portal. BUT! This is only a BETA test. Meaning, the DOE is trying to test out its system before the fully roll out the application to all borrowers.
The application is not always available on studentaid.gov. Sometimes it’s available and sometimes it’s not. It’ll be that way for a few days while they work out the kinks. However, several of my followers have reported that they have been successful in getting their application submitted.
The Department of Education says there is NO benefit to getting your application in early. So if you miss out, don’t worry. DOE also says, if you are successful in getting your application in early you will NOT have to submit it again once the portal rolls out to everyone.

I submitted my application 10/15/2022
Awesome! I’m glad you were able to take advantage of the BETA program.
I was able to get in on beta application.. I also got the email , if you signed up for email notifications you would get email which also gave access
I submitted my application 10/15/2022
It was very easy and it was very simple to file.
The directions are very easy to follow as well
I’ve been trying to get into the site, but, I can’t.
I would try a different computer or close all the tabs and try again.
I have got on multiple times today to check the website and it has been fine.
I submitted my application in a timely fashon
I feel that it’s best that you start working on a physical application as I’m a particular person I will not apply online I don’t want my personal information being stolen there’s too many hackers scammers and I’m not comfortable I want to be able to call the loan letter and have them send me the application in the mail
I don’t know if they will have a paper application. That has never been discussed.
But you can wait and see what happens.
This application calls for your full name, social security number, date of birth and contact information. You review it certify under penalty of perjury of law that the info is correct and hit submit. At this point they are not asking for private information and everything that you have provided is not only minimal info but is directly at the student aid.gov website. Like someone else stated, it’s doubtful there will be a paper application.
Good luck with that!
It said that they will email you to let you know it’s been received, but I never got an email.. does that mean I should apply again?
Maybe you should just to be safe because I got a confirmation email stating my application was received.
I filled out my application on 10/16/2022. I got my confirmation email that my application was received.
I would like to submit an application
I submitted the student loan forgiveness application BETA on 10/16. I also received a confirmation from studentaid.gov with next step instructions.
I submitted my application on 10/15/2022. Also, I received an email saying the application was successfully submitted.
Got mine submitted on the 15th and got my friend to do the same.
My question is, doea this application explain everything? Any criteria, exceptions and what not. I want to be fully informed when I apply, dont want to have any surprises later on in life.
You can look for yourself when it’s available.
I was able to submit mine on the 15th and also a response that the received it.
