Lawsuit Says Education Department Slowing PSLF Debt Forgiveness
Original: Lawsuit Accuses Education Dept. of Throttling Debt Cancellation Through PSLF Program
A new lawsuit accuses the US Department of Education of deliberately slowing student debt cancellation under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, which forgives federal loans for borrowers who work in government or nonprofit jobs for a decade. The filing claims eligible borrowers are being unlawfully kept in limbo. Critics say the department is obstructing relief Congress created, while defenders of the department's practices say delays reflect processing backlogs rather than obstruction.
Why now: Borrowers and advocacy groups are alarmed that promised public-service loan relief may be blocked by the department itself.
