Loan Forgiveness Question

[LordPP]

This is a question I've been unable to find the answer to on google, from financial aid representatives, or from my loan services. Thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

Regarding the Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. if one has paid say 8 years of qualifying payments on yundergraduate loans while employed full time at a public service employer and then acquires a whole new batch of federal med school loans, is it possible to consolidate those loans and have the conglomeration forgiven with two more years of qualifying employment/payments?

No. When you consolidate loans, clock starts over.
