Who is eligible to receive attorney student loan repayment benefits?
Under the Department’s policy, any employee serving in or being hired to serve in an attorney position who has qualifying Federal student loans totaling at least $10,000, and who can execute a three-year service agreement, may request consideration. There are some attorneys who are excluded by law (e.g., political appointees) and others who, because of the type of appointment they hold, cannot meet the minimum statutory service obligation of three years. These individuals are not eligible.
