PSA. The federal government is no longer a reliable steward of records. Download local copies of any interactions you've had with the federal government. Download records of your social security contributions from https://ssa.gov. 1/
2/ For student loans, you can log onto https://studentaid.gov and export a complete archive of every student loan you've ever had, your balance over time, and any forgiveness you've received.
3/ Your student loan balance is unlikely to go "poof," but your payment record or any forgiveness you've received might. Do this kind of archiving for any interactions you have with the federal government. And instruct all of your friends and family to do the same.
