As you probably read in one of my previous articles on this topic, the program in which the government will pay off your federal student loans is called The Federal Student Loan Repayment Program. It’s run by the Office of Personnel Management (http://www.OPM.gov). Here is a direct link to more information about the program.

Fact Sheet, Q&As and Annual Report to Congress

At the website, be sure to click on the Fact Sheet and the Questions & Answers on the left side of the page for additional details. But to answer your question, in a nutshell, any participating federal agency for which you might work can help pay your student loans through this program, as long as that agency participates in this program. Each year, participating agencies report to Congress about their activities in paying off employees’ loans. The 2008 Report to Congress from the Federal Student Loan Repayment Program is the most recent report available. Here is a link to that 38-page report. http://www.opm.gov/oca/pay/studentloan/html/CY2008StudentLoanRepaymentReport.pdf. In it, you will find listings of every single government agency that participated in the Federal Student Loan Repayment Program for that year.

For more information about this program and about paying off student loans, be sure to read a copy of my book, Zero Debt for College Grads: From Student Loans to Financial Freedom.
