Student Loan Repayments Available (Veterinary Medical Officer) |
|
|
FSIS offers student loan repayments to all newly hired veterinarians.
Under this program, individuals with
qualifying student loans receive payments of up to $10,000 per person per year for two years, for a total student
loan payment of up to $20,000. The amount, minus any applicable taxes, is applied to the student loan debt directly.
Participants must be new to the federal government or have had a break of service of at least 90 days.
They must also sign a three year service agreement. Loan repayments using appropriated funds are made through
the existing Student Loan Repayment Authority (5 U.S.C. 5379), USDA Departmental Regulations (DR 4050-537),
and FSIS Directive 4537.1.
