The U.S. Department of Education has started accepting applications for student loan forgiveness on a trial basis, but said access to the forms would be "periodic."
The "beta test" began Friday night evening, but the form was not available and a notice posted at https://studentaid.gov/debt-relief/application instructed borrowers to "check back soon." By Saturday morning, the form was available again.
The department has said it will make a final version of the form available by the end of this month. If you manage to get access to the application during the beta test, you won't have to apply again once the final form is released.
