Judge strikes down Trump’s limits on loan forgiveness for public servants
The Washington Post • • nation
Key Points:
- A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the Trump administration’s new restrictions on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, preventing the rule from taking effect as planned on Wednesday.
- The judge ruled in favor of nonprofits, states, cities, and unions that challenged the revised eligibility criteria, which would have excluded employers engaged in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities or disapproved by the Trump administration.
- The PSLF program forgives student loan debt for government and nonprofit employees after 10 years of service and 120 monthly payments, and the court’s decision preserves access for eligible borrowers.
