""The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program was meant to support Americans who dedicate their careers to public service - not to subsidize organizations that violate the law, whether by harboring illegal immigrants or performing prohibited medical procedures that attempt to transition children away from their biological sex.""
""A group of 22 states filed one of the lawsuits on Monday, which accuses the rule of weaponizing the Department of Education "as a roving enforcer of the Administration's animus by stripping PSLF eligibility from employers whose actions it dislikes.""
""It emphasizes that the statute establishing the program "provides no grounds for the Department to create exceptions to PSLF eligibility." The complaint also slams the "overbroad and impermissibly vague" language of the rule, which states it will target entities acting with "substantial illegal purpose.""
A new Department of Education rule narrows eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, excluding employees of government and nonprofit organizations based on certain employer activities. The rule explicitly targets organizations that support trans people and cites alleged illegal actions such as harboring undocumented immigrants or performing medical procedures to transition minors. Twenty-two states filed a lawsuit arguing the rule weaponizes the department and unlawfully strips PSLF eligibility from employers. The complaint contends the statute provides no basis for exceptions, and criticizes the rule's language as overbroad and impermissibly vague, including its reference to "substantial illegal purpose."
