There's a lot of misinformation about the President's new executive order. Here are the facts.
today calling for more streamlined discharges of federal student loans for disabled veterans who cannot maintain employment to repay their debts. The President noted in the order,"
There is a pressing need to quickly and effectively resolve this problem [of disabled veterans carrying student loan debt]. Therefore, my Administration will take prompt action to ensure that all totally and permanently disabled veterans are able to obtain, with minimal burden, the Federal student loan debt discharges to which they are legally entitled."
and administration officials are mischaracterizing the order as a new student loan forgiveness program for disabled veterans. It is not., veterans who are totally and permanently disabled due to a service-related condition are eligible to have their federal student loan debt completely cancelled, tax-free. Today's executive order does not create a new student loan forgiveness program; rather, it directs the U.S. Dept. of Education and U.S. Dept.
The effort to improve the TPD discharge process for disabled veterans is laudable and important. The V.A. already has information on veterans who have been certified as completely disabled, and there is no reason that the agency cannot share this information with the Dept. of Education.
