Opinions on Using Employer TA

[futuremrsmlb]

Do you have to repay if you get canned? Someone else mentioned health, which is a huge risk as we get older.

If your cash flow is going to be tight (or worse) with a TA repayment event, I would take both the student loans and the TA. As the TA repayment terms expire, pay the student loans down. I don't consider this the same as indentured slavery since you will keep the matching funds in an off-limit savings account in case of a repayment event.

If I am let go through no fault of my own (layoff, reduction in force) I would owe them nothing. I hadn't considered using the student loans as a means to repay TA if needed. Something else to consider! Thanks
