Yes but it is very difficult to prove all of the elements you have to prove to get it discharged. For most people the answer is no

The public service loan discharge “used” to be broken and people were always rejected, but they made significant overhauls a few years back. My father for example, had his loans forgiven for working at a public library for a decade or so.
I took the question to ask whether or not the debt was susceptible to discharge under the Bankruptcy Code. Public service forgiveness is a different beast that doesn't flow through the bankruptcy system.
