The Importance of Funding Election Infrastructure

This webinar is designed for county HR and leadership teams seeking practical ways to support employees struggling with student debt.

Over 9 million public service workers, including full-time county employees, are eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Yet fewer than 3 percent have successfully received relief.

The issue is not eligibility. It is awareness, complexity, and follow-through.

Please join us as we speak with student debt forgiveness expert Tony Raffa, who will clarify today’s student debt landscape, including:

• What recent policy and executive actions mean for public sector employees
• How Department of Education changes affect forgiveness eligibility, timelines, and compliance
• Which student debt relief programs do employees actually qualify for today
• The current status of the SAVE program
• Common application errors that delay or derail forgiveness
• Rising delinquency and repayment restart risks
• What HR teams need to know about collections, wage garnishment notices, and employer responsibilities

Attendees will also see how a new student debt navigation tool helps employees estimate their potential forgiveness, avoid costly mistakes, and reduce annual payments by an average of $2,244.

For HR teams, this means a scalable way to offer meaningful financial support without adding administrative burden.

The funding package includes key county priorities, including funding for community and economic development, election administration and security, taxpayer services and intergovernmental partnerships.
