bob redell joins us from the newsroom. we are all ears as we know the state attorney general told us that hundreds of thousands of californians are qualifying for this but haven't applied. >> reporter: correct. good morning. up to 1 million californians might qualify for the public service loan forgiveness or the pslf program, but only around 10,000 californians have benefited. the deadline to apply is october 31st. just moments ago the state attorney general took part in a news conference, a virtual one, to announce the california student debt challenge. this program is available for public servants like teachers and firefighters who have given ten years of service. >> the fight is personal for me. i know what it's like to write those painful, triple digit, even quadruple digit checks, trapped by high interest rates and debt that was large enough to be a mortgage in many places or more even. in my early legal career, i initially joined a private practice so i could afford my student loan payments instead of pursuing my ca
