.@usedgov is pressuring millions of borrowers to change repayment plans. The department is sending out “Final Notices” and if borrowers don't take action, the consequences could be devastating. @AdamSMinsky @Forbes #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents forbes.com/sites/adamminsky/…

StudentAid is telling borrowers their loans are in forbearance or "don't qualify for PSLF."
The problem? Many of these borrowers are in qualifying repayment plans with certified employment.
It's the latest in a month of PSLF data errors...

Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Tried to get to as many as I could with my panel today, really appreciate insights from @Rene_MarshCNN and @AdamSMinsky !
Bottom line is that borrowers still have an obligation to pay their student loans regardless of what happens to the DOE.
You can watch the whole segment here: cnn.com/2025/02/14/politics/…
Are you a federal student loan borrower or someone with questions about the future of the Dept. of Education? I want to hear from you!
Trump is calling for the DOE to be closed "immediately" and firings have begun. DOGE has also been given access to internal systems, alarming legal experts.
Send me your questions on what this all means for you and your loan repayments, and I'll put them to the experts on my show at 10a ET today. ⬇️

A nurse practitioner in Alabama enrolled in a federal program that granted her $25K in student loan relief in exchange for working at a rural clinic. When she had to leave her job or risk losing her medical license, she was told she’d owe the gov’t $217K. wsj.com/politics/policy/a-nu…

NEWS: We sued @HHSGov with @UpperSevenLaw to reform the National Health Service Corps Student Loan Repayment Program.

[BREAKING] A federal judge in MO just halted part of @POTUS's SAVE student loan repayment plan.
@usedgov may no longer cancel debt for borrowers via the new rules.
Millions continue to qualify for lower payments and a break on unpaid interest-- for now.
