Washington, D.C. — Today, the U.S. Department of Education previewed a final rule changing how the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program determines qualifying employers.
In response, Viviann Anguiano, managing director for Higher Education Policy at the Center for American Progress, offered the following comments:
While the last administration ensured more than 1 million public servants—nurses, medical assistants, first responders, teachers and social workers—received Public Student Loan Forgiveness after 10 years of service and payments, the Trump administration now seems bent on slashing future benefits for public servants.
This rule aims to penalize nonprofit organizations whose work does not advance Trump’s political views. This administration wants to distract the American people from the regulatory and legislative changes they are making that will raise costs for families.
