 TITLE: How Employers Can Help You Pay Off Student Loans CONTENT: The Bottom Line\n---------------\nIf you have student loans, some employers may be willing to help pay off your balance. If your employer doesn't offer a student loan assistance plan, making extra payments or refinancing could help you pay off student loan debt faster.\nIf you're having trouble making ends meet, speak with your loan servicer before missing a student loan payment. Your lender may be able to offer a payment arrangement, and your federal loans may qualify for forbearance or an income-driven repayment plan for payment relief. END
