No, the email address ed.gov@public.govdelivery.com is not a scam. It is a legit email address used by the Department of Education(ED) for updates on your student loan debt relief application. After you apply, you may hear from ED — to upload tax documents verifying your income — or to give updates on your application. Those emails will only come from noreply@studentaid.gov, noreply@debtrelief.studentaid.gov, or ed.gov@public.govdelivery.com. Pay close attention to the sender's address for emails about loan forgiveness — looking for slight typos — to avoid a scammer’s fake emails.
