Democrats Seek to Overturn Trump's New Rules for Student Loan Forgiveness

The new formula can make retroactive payments two to three times higher for borrowers who missed months during SAVE-related pauses, TheStreet estimated.

  • Democrats in Congress are attempting to block a new Trump administration rule that changes eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, arguing it could deny relief to some borrowers.
  • The rule would allow the Education Department to exclude certain employers from the program if their activities are deemed to have a “substantial illegal purpose,” potentially affecting workers at some nonprofits and public organizations.
  • Supporters say the policy prevents taxpayer funds from supporting unlawful activities, while critics argue it could be applied broadly and make it harder for some public service workers to qualify for loan forgiveness.
