Within the Discord, we have created a survey for borrowers to share their situation and individual struggles. The purpose of this survey is to hopefully identify classes which could be the basis for class action litigation. Join here: discord.gg/2FRgP4KD

Pieces and headlines like these are absurd.

His EO doesn't harm millions in #PSLF, probably won't hold.

Will likely affect borrowers' speech and behavior and some nonprofits recruitment.

The REAL issue is admin is unlikely to process anyone's forgiveness apps.

There is a lot to unpack with this executive order, but foremost, it is an acknowledgement that the current administration cannot harm PSLF directly.

It can, and is, being frustrated, delayed, and whittled down for individuals.

Members confirmed that loan servicers have stopped processing ANY applications to change income related plans. This includes PAYE and IBR which are outside the scope of the 8th Circuit's injunction.

It's true that the FSA website took down the IBR form, but the article is wrong that you can't still apply! Fill out the PDF manually and send it directly to your servicer!

Repayment plans are changing fast and it's not yet clear which plans are safest for maintaining PSLF counts.

I fully expect Bessent and Treasury to do this in his own and Dems that voted for him will have blood on their hands for this destruction as well. 🤬 #PSLF

They can’t take away PSLF retroactively. We took out loans and made career and life choices based on PSLF. If they tried, they’d be sued and would lose. I don’t think they’ll try. I found this video very helpful in these anxious times.

Anyone waiting for an #IDR form to be processed by your loan servicer: We just discovered that the "Apply for IDR" feature on the #FSA website generates an expired version of the form, and likely has caused multiple applications to fail.

Hello all, the Discord link in the profile got cut off by the character limit, so the link was incorrect. It has since been fixed.
