Abstract:
The 97 undersigned student, consumer, higher education, public health, workforce, public
interest, professional, military, and faith organizations representing millions of public service workers and student loan borrowers are writing to urge you to immediately undertake a review of the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program and ensure that all public service workers who have completed a decade of service receive the debt relief they were promised. This review must guarantee that any and all changes to the program are not just prospective but provide immediate relief, and justice, to dedicated public service workers. Throughout the pandemic, these borrowers have remained on the hook for debts they should not owe, taking a heavy psychological and financial toll month after month.
