Judges Strike Down Trump Rule on Loan Forgiveness for Public Servants

Federal judges have struck down a Trump administration rule that aimed to limit eligibility for a student loan forgiveness program designed for public servants. The rule, which was blocked by two federal courts, could have significantly reduced the number of borrowers qualifying for loan forgiveness. The program, intended to benefit public servants such as teachers and government employees, allows borrowers to have their loans forgiven after making a certain number of payments. The court decisions effectively preserve the existing eligibility criteria for the program.
