I *think* it means that if your loans are already paid off you can not be reimbursed.

"The law forgives outstanding education debt for public service employees who have made 10 years of monthly payments on their loans while serving full-time in government, public education or other positions related to public service."

Am I wrong in thinking that unless you have been paying the loan off for ten years, then you are not eligible? Newer loans are not applicable?

Aren't most loans paid off in 10 years? This doesn't make sense or am I just not understanding it correctly!

i wish! i will be paying off my loans for 30 years and yes that means that you have to be paying them for 10 years SO *hopefully* after paying for ten years I will be able to forget about the rest of my loans ( ( which will probably still be over $20K ) )
