Biden Administration Making Changes To Troubled Student Loan Program

Kim Hebert, an elementary school teacher, struggles with over $65,000 in student debt. She relies on selling blood plasma to manage her finances. Despite working in public service for 15 years, she was denied loan forgiveness under the PSLF program due to having the wrong type of loan. The Biden administration is implementing reforms to address these issues, including a temporary waiver for past payments. These changes could forgive $30,000 of Hebert's debt, significantly improving her financial situation.
