Dear Colleagues,
Over 12 million people in the United States are struggling to make their monthly student loan payments, and millions more see economic and personal opportunities pass as they prioritize paying down their debt. Does this sound like you or someone you know?
Many of these people may qualify for free federal programs that can help reduce their monthly payments and eventually lead to student loan forgiveness, but these lifeline programs are significantly under-enrolled. In an effort to help our members get access to these programs, United University Professions and the American Federation of Teachers are proud to host a Student Debt Clinic which will provide information on how to enroll in Income-Driven Repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
We will be offering virtual Members Only Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Clinics on the following dates:
Wednesday, October 1, 2025 from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM via Zoom
Wednesday, October 22, 2025 from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM via Zoom
To attend one of the virtual Members Only Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Clinics, you must pre-register here: http://go.aft.org/StudentDebtClinicRSVP. From the “student debt clinic” drop down menu, please select the UUP clinic that you are interested in attending – they are labeled “UUP [Virtual Student Debt Clinic] [date] [time].” In the affiliate field, type in the full name of our local (United University Professions), and it will autofill after a few keystrokes.
Registration is first-come, first-serve, and we must cap attendance for a single clinic at 125 participants to ensure that we are able to provide maximum assistance to attendees. Registration will close 48 hours prior to the virtual clinic. Webinar login information will be provided prior to the clinic to all who register. [If you can’t make one of these virtual clinics, don’t worry – we’re planning on offering them every payday. If you want to help host a chapter-specific virtual clinic, please let us know!]
Managing your student loan debt is the first step in taking on the inequities which plague our system of higher education, and we look forward to seeing you at the virtual Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Clinic and working together to find a collective solution to the problems of student debt and college affordability!

UUP’s Benefits Department hosts monthly “Know Your Benefits” webinars for UUP members and all UUP-represented employees.
The forums provide information about benefits that SUNY employees receive, which are negotiated by UUP, as well as UUP membership and voluntary benefits associated with being a member.
The next webinar, titled “New Semester Know Your Benefits,” is scheduled for noon on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

Dear Chapter Members:
UUP’s popular monthly Pre-Retirement Workshops are scheduled for August 19th and August 21st, 2025. The part 1 workshop will take place on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at 12:00pm which will cover Healthcare/Medicare.
The part 2 workshop will take place on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 12:00pm which will cover union benefits (dental & vision)
You may take these workshops as many times as you like as the information is rather complex especially with Medicare and feel free to have your spouse/partner attend with you. Also, you can take these two workshops in any order as they don’t depend on each other. For this and other UUP programing information go to the UUP Events Calendar: https://uupinfo.org/calendar/
You will need to register for the workshops and a Zoom link is sent the day before the workshop to the email address that you register under.
We do not record these workshops because of privacy concerns and because the information does change, and we want to make sure you have the most current information.
To register for the August pre-retirement workshop’s, use this link: https://forms.gle/HujQacDnvZQFyWj68
