Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent federal employees from using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which currently allows government workers to have their student loans forgiven after 10 years of public service. The change would affect current and future federal workers who are counting on loan forgiveness as part of their compensation package, potentially increasing their out-of-pocket education costs over their careers.
