Easy solution: don't cancel debt for people who live in those states. Say the Republicans blocked it. Move forward with everyone else.
Yep, state rights! They want the states to decide, ok they decided. Now cancel my debt, I don't live in those states.
They're always for state's rights- until the state decides they have the right to do something conservatives don't like.
Here's a funny thing- I used to regularly have to go to a place back in the 90s where I had to wait for a while and listen to their radio play Limbaugh as part of my job. So one day, this kid calls in. Literally a kid. Like a 15-year-old who called himself conservative.
So this kid says something to Limbaugh like, "what happens if we get what we want and abortion is sent back to the states and states keep it legal?"
Limbaugh hemmed and hawed and eventually said he'd have to think about it and get back to the kid, which I have to assume he never did because the answer is that conservatives only give a shit about state's rights when it benefits them. And look where we are now, with talk of a national abortion ban.
And then encourage people with useful degrees to move to states which will cancel the debt.
The judicial branch is waging war on the executive branch. Federal student loans are entirely within the jurisdiction of the department of education and the law gives them unambiguous authority of discretion with how the program is run.
I was in the process of applying for the SAVE program when it was blocked. I don't know why or how but this put my payments on hold for another year. Not as good as paying it off, but still a huge help.
I was automatically enrolled in it a while back because I’m on income-based repayments, and they just keep delaying even recertification. I haven’t had to do shit with my account in years. It’s really nice honestly, because I don’t intend to repay it (I’ve never made enough to warrant a payment, under the income based plan.. so fuck ‘em)
I’m super glad you got into the infinite loop of stalling too! :) everyone should apply, when they can!
Basically, if I understand right, they are choosing to do nothing rather than fuck it all up and collect what they shouldn’t, which they would then have to credit.
My wife was already approved for it. I was supposed to be done in July and now I can't do anything... I wasn't even on the SAVE plan. I was on the preexisting forgiveness program for state employees and teachers. Now they won't touch my account, placed a hold on it so all I can do is make payments. I'm not paying shit until I have a definitive word about when I'm done!
I was approved and was started on the plan then boom.
It's really keeping us in a shitty place. One of the reasons I've stayed with this company so long was being on the forgiveness plan. With that taken care of, I could look into working with a private company and leverage the decade of experience I have into a better salary, but until it's taken care of I can't risk jeopardizing my repayment plan... It's like being held hostage.
I work in higher ed. The hell I’ll ever go into public sector while holding a loan.
Fucking unbelievable.
