AI Summary
This bill, the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps Student Loan Forgiveness Act, directs the Secretary of Education to count the months during which Peace Corps volunteers and AmeriCorps members have eligible Federal Direct Loans in deferment or forbearance toward eligibility for public service loan forgiveness. This means that the time these individuals spend in service will be counted toward the loan forgiveness program, even if they were not making payments during that time. The bill also requires the Secretary of Education to consult with the Peace Corps, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and affected borrowers when implementing this change.
