The U.S. Department of Education has resumed collecting on defaulted federal student loans after a pause initiated during the coronavirus pandemic. This resumption is part of a broader context where the Trump administration has proposed significant budget cuts to education, including a $12 billion reduction from the Education Department's budget. The proposed cuts could eliminate programs essential for low-income and first-generation college students, particularly focusing on eliminating federal work-study funding and other support aimed at vulnerable student populations. These changes are likely to have far-reaching effects on California schools and student finances.
Trump's budget proposal intends to cut federal education funding by $12 billion, impacting programs crucial to low-income students, such as work-study and need-based grants.
The resumption of federal student loan collections after five years aligns with broader budgetary cuts proposed by the Trump administration, targeting educational support and financial aid.
