Federal Judges Block Trump PSLF Eligibility Restrictions
Courts stop rules restricting student loan forgiveness.
Event Overview
Two federal judges in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., vacated Trump administration regulations that redefined 'qualifying employers' for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. The rules sought to strip loan forgiveness from employees of organizations deemed to have a 'substantial illegal purpose' or those engaging in 'unlawful activities.' These changes specifically targeted organizations supporting causes such as diversity initiatives and the provision of hormone therapy or puberty-blocking drugs for children.
