On October 30, 2025, the Department of Education revised its eligibility requirements for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, announcing it would disqualify employers based on ideology. Government and nonprofit employees rely on the program to have student loans forgiven after years of public service. Critics are marking the anniversary to argue the change politicized a neutral public-service benefit.

Why now: One year on, people are revisiting the change as an example of political ideology being applied to federal loan forgiveness.
