Two federal judges appointed during the Biden administration have blocked the Trump administration from enforcing new restrictions on a student loan forgiveness program. The contested rules would have prevented public service workers from receiving debt relief if their employers were found to have a “substantial illegal purpose.” The rulings were issued on Tuesday by judges in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., effectively rejecting the Trump-era overhaul of the forgiveness program.
These decisions maintain the eligibility of public service workers for student loan forgiveness despite the Trump administration’s attempt to impose stricter conditions.
