President Trump has enacted an executive order that alters the eligibility criteria for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program by excluding borrowers employed by organizations with substantial illegal activities. This move contrasts Education Secretary McMahon's previous assurance to uphold the program. The directive seeks to redefine 'public service' to eliminate those engaged in activities like terrorism, child abuse, and illegal discrimination. Critics argue this decision undermines free speech and public service roles, suggesting it intimidates workers advocating for vulnerable communities against the administration's policies.
"What is happening is that debt is being used to scare hardworking public service workers from serving the most vulnerable members of our society, or speaking out against the Trump Administration's radical agenda."
"individuals employed by organizations whose activities have a substantial illegal purpose" will no longer be eligible for the program, known as PSLF, under Trump's new directive.
