I applied for a #PSLF #StudentLoan waiver because I've spent the last 13 years working at nonprofit universities.

My former employer, Rutgers, never responded the Fed's request for verification that I worked there.

I called Rutgers HR to see if they can do something about it. I'm now on minute 16 of being on hold, listening to a muzak rip-off of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" while my coauthors on an article wait for me to show up in a Zoom room.

@RutgersAAUPAFT I *still* feel your pain.

#StudentLoan Payments Are Back. Now What?

After three and a half years, the pause on federal #studentloanpayments is coming to an end. Getting more than 40 million borrowers back into repayment will be an enormous challenge, especially because many students who graduated when the pause was already in place have never made a payment.

Dear President Biden,
Thank you for forgiving my Student Loan. My loan was taken out in 1989.

I was not expecting it to be forgiven, which I was fine with, as my loan wasn't as devastating an amount that current students carried even w/the interest.

You are indeed a man of your Word

Should student loan debt be forgiven?

In the 1970s, the average student debt for college graduates was only $1,070 - Today, it’s over $31,000 (a 2,800% increase).

40 million Americans owe $1.7 trillion in student loan debt (which can make it difficult to own a home, start a business, or invest for retirement).

This one's a cake-taker.

Despite Biden's massive student debt relief program, the Pro-GOP Left wanted us to let the GOP win anyway, because Biden didn't forgive ALL debt (which is impossible).

Then SCOTUS struck down the whole program (because the Pro-GOP Left convinced us to let Trump win in 2016).

Now, the Pro-GOP Left dredges up 3-year-old article about a 16-year-old bill, in an attempt to help the GOP win in 2024.

Absolute chaos anticipated as $1.5T in #StudentLoan payments resume

In a May deal to raise the debt ceiling, lawmakers [GOP] mandated the resumption of student loan payments but failed to allocate more funds for the transition, including extended call-center operations. The department also cut payments to servicers, which may lead to prolonged wait times for borrowers seeking answers from the Education Department or servicers.

#UnitedStates President #JoeBiden said his administration was canceling $130 million in debt for 7,400 student borrowers who attended #CollegeAmerica in the state of #Colorado

CollegeAmerica, a private institution, shut down in September 2020 after an investigation by Colorado's attorney general found it made widespread misrepresentations about the salaries and employment rates of its graduates, the Education Department said in a statement.

#BidenAdministration wipes out $39 billion in #StudentLoan #Debt

The Biden administration has wiped out $39 billion USD (£29.7 billion) in student loans for 804,000 borrowers with debts outstanding for more than 20 years.

The relief is a result of "fixes" the government says it made to the plans.

Qualifying borrowers will be notified if their loans will be discharged in the coming weeks, the Department of #Education said.

I realize it’s not a very trendy #liberal thing to say, and one area where I diverge from the far left leaning folks but: if you didn’t want to pay off your #StudentLoan, you should not have taken out a loan. You made a contract, meet your end of the #contract. It’s not tax-payers’ #responsibility to pay off your #loans. Tip for future generations: don’t take out a #loan you don’t want to pay off. I’ve had to pay all my #debts too… #StudentLoanForgiveness #StudentLoans #Credit #ChargeIt #Debt
