PSLF for nurses in California: common questions

Which hospitals in California qualify for PSLF?

Of the hospitals hiring on this site, Medicare lists 159 in California as non-profit or government (21 government), the employers PSLF can count, and 45 as for-profit. The best rated: Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital in Auburn (non-profit, 5 of 5 stars), Stanford Health Care in Stanford (non-profit, 5 of 5 stars), Novato Community Hospital in Novato (non-profit, 5 of 5 stars) and Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame (non-profit, 5 of 5 stars).

Do nurses qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)?

Through the employer, not the job title. PSLF forgives what remains of federal Direct Loans once a borrower “Satisfies the equivalent of 120 monthly payments after October 1, 2007” (34 CFR 685.219) while employed full time by a qualifying employer. Full time is “A minimum average of 30 hours per week during the period being certified” (34 CFR 685.219). A qualifying employer includes a government organization and a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and PSLF counts no employer that is "a business organized for profit". So a nurse at a government or 501(c)(3) non-profit hospital can qualify; one at a for-profit hospital does not.

Which employers run them?

Sutter Health (21), Stanford Health Care (2), CommonSpirit Health (23), Keck Medicine of USC (1), Adventist Health (17), Kaiser Permanente (29), Providence (11) and Torrance Memorial Medical Center (1) and 39 more. Each opens its open jobs.

Do physical therapists, rad techs and other hospital staff qualify for PSLF?

Yes, by the same rule: PSLF counts the employer, never the occupation, so a physical, occupational or speech therapist, a respiratory therapist, a rad tech or anyone else employed full time by a government or 501(c)(3) non-profit hospital can count those years. Full time is “A minimum average of 30 hours per week during the period being certified” (34 CFR 685.219). Therapists in home health or an outpatient clinic should check the employer itself, since PSLF counts no business organized for profit.

Does a travel or agency nurse at a non-profit hospital qualify?

PSLF counts the organization that employs you, which in the regulation is the one that issues your W-2: “Employee or employed means an individual: (i) To whom an organization issues an IRS Form W-2” (34 CFR 685.219). A nurse employed by a for-profit staffing agency works for the agency, even on a non-profit hospital's unit; the regulation makes a narrow exception for contracted positions that state law does not let the qualifying employer fill directly.

How do I check whether my hospital counts?

Medicare's ownership record, shown here, is a first check. PSLF itself goes by the employer's tax status: the federal PSLF Help Tool on studentaid.gov looks an employer up by its EIN, the number on your W-2, and the employer certifies your employment. A health system can run both: 69 of the employers hiring here have non-profit or government hospitals and for-profit ones, by Medicare's record, so check the hospital you would work for.

Is PSLF the only loan help for hospital nurses?

No. HRSA's Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program repays part of a registered nurse's loans for work at a facility in a shortage area (hospitals hiring in Nurse Corps shortage areas), and many employers state tuition or student loan help in their postings (tuition and student loan help).

Other states

Sources and method

A hospital is listed when Medicare's Hospital General Information lists its ownership as voluntary non-profit or government; for-profit and physician-owned hospitals are counted apart. The hospitals are those of the employers hiring on CareJobs.Now, matched by Medicare's record. Medicare's ownership is not a PSLF ruling: the employer's tax status, checked by the federal PSLF Help Tool, decides.
