"The department will publish a rule tomorrow in the Federal Register that would allow the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, to disqualify government and nonprofit employers that do not align the Trump administration's agenda from participating in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. While no specific organizations have yet been named publicly as ineligible for PSLF under the rule, LGBTQ+ organizations operating as 501(c)(3) nonprofits are likely to be targeted."
""This is a direct and unlawful attack on nurses, teachers, first responders, and public service workers across the country," Democracy Forward and Protect Borrowers said in a joint statement. "Congress created the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program because it is important for our democracy that we support the people who do the hard work to serve our communities.""
A new Department of Education rule will let the Secretary disqualify government and nonprofit employers from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program if they are deemed not to align with the administration's agenda. LGBTQ+ 501(c)(3) organizations are likely targets, and even large legal groups defending gender-affirming care could be labeled as subsidizing illegal activity. Advocacy groups described the change as an unlawful attack on public service workers and an unconstitutional usurpation of legislative authority. Legal challenges are expected. The PSLF program forgives loans for qualifying public servants after set repayment requirements are met.
